Abstract
La atención farmacéutica es una actividad que con los años ha tomado más relevancia en España. Los farmacéuticos, en cooperación con pacientes y médicos, deben mejorar los resultados de la farmacoterapia previniendo, detectando y resolviendo los problemas relacionados con los medicamentos (PRM) antes de que éstos den lugar a morbi-mortalidad. Los farmacéuticos estamos cada vez más concienciados de la importancia que supone llevar a cabo esta práctica clínica. La mayoría de los pacientes reconocen al farmacéutico como un profesional sanitario de referencia y de continuidad. La atención farmacéutica se presenta como una alternativa de calidad muy efi caz para conseguir mejorar el resultado de los tratamientos y la asistencia sanitaria (Colegio de Farmacéuticos de Sevilla, 2014). Las patologías osteoarticulares son unas enfermedades crónicas y prevalentes que constituyen un problema de salud pública con importante repercusión médica tanto por la morbimortalidad que conllevan como por su gran impacto socioeconómico. Cabe esperar que con los cambios demográfi cos que estamos viviendo y el envejecimiento poblacional la incidencia de estas enfermedades vaya en aumento (Carbonell, 2012). La artrosis es la patología articular más prevalente, el 80 % de los pacientes mayores de 65 años presentan artrosis. Constituye la primera causa de incapacidad laboral permanente y el 50 % de todas las incapacidades diagnosticadas. Un tercio de los pacientes con artrosis se encuentran en una situación de baja laboral. El consumo de recursos económicos originados por la artrosis se acerca al 3 % del PIB (Giménez, 2012). Estos datos hacen necesario que el farmacéutico realice un seguimiento farmacoterapéutico a estos pacientes valorando la necesidad, efectividad y seguridad de sus tratamientos, así como la satisfacción con el mismo. Igualmente importante es la realización de un programa educacional para ayudar a los pacientes diagnosticados. Existen varios estudios que demuestran la importancia de la intervención del farmacéutico en la resolución y prevención de los resultados negativos asociados a la medicación (Aburuz et ál., 2006 y Viktil y Blix, 2008)...
Over the years, pharmaceutical care has become increasingly important in Spain. In cooperation with patients and doctors, pharmacists need to improve pharmacotherapy results through the prevention, detection and resolution of drug-related problems (DRP) before these lead to morbidity and mortality. We pharmacists are increasingly aware of just how important is this clinical practice. The majority of patients acknowledge pharmacists as reference health professionals who are available on a continuing basis. Pharmaceutical care can be a very effective high-quality alternative to successfully improve the outcome of health care and treatment (Colegio de Farmacéuticos de Sevilla, 2014). Osteoarticular pathologies are prevalent chronic illnesses which, as a result of their associated morbi-mortality and of their signifi cant socioeconomic impact, pose a public health problem with signifi cant medical repercussions. It is to be expected that rates of these illnesses will increase given current demographic changes and an aging population (Carbonell, 2012). Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent articular pathology, with 80 % of patients over 65 presenting with osteoarthritis. It is the principal cause of permanent incapacity for work and 50 % of all diagnosed incapacities. One-third of patients with osteoarthritis are off work. Economic resources consumed by osteoarthritis equate to almost 3 % of GDP (Giménez, 2012). These data require pharmacists to carry out pharmacotherapeutic monitoring (PTM) of those patients to assess how necessary, effective and safe is their treatment, as well their levels of satisfaction with it. Equally important is a programme of education to help the patients diagnosed. Several studies show the importance of the pharmacist’s intervention in resolving and preventing adverse outcomes associated with medication (Aburuz et al., 2006 and Viktil and Blix, 2008)...
