🧵 Reducing #PrescribingCascades ⬇️

1/ What are #Prescribing Cascades?

1⃣ A drug is prescribed 💊
2⃣ #AdverseEvent occurs but is misinterpreted as a new medical condition ⚠️
3⃣Another drug is prescribed for the drug-induced adverse event 💊💊

2/ Anticholinergics ➡️ cognitive dysfunction ➡️ drugs for #dementia

#Anticholinergic 💊 block acetylcholinergic neurotransmission in the brain, impairing cognition & memory

Can lead to new Rx or ↗️ acetylcholinesterase inhibitor doses

3/ Drugs for #dementia ➡️ incontinence ➡️ anticholinergics

Conversely, AChE-I can cause urinary or fecal incontinence, that may "cascade" to prescription of an #anticholinergic

1/8 It was not unexpected that pts w/ #STEMI would fare worse w/ than w/o #COVID19
2/8 However, our study was unique in design compared w/ prior studies, allowing for more accurate estimates of mortality risk: 1) larger, more representative cohort; 2) more contemporary control groups
3/8 We characterized mortality risk separately for pts with pre-hospital and in-hospital #STEMI

Resistant Hypertension in CKD, How i treat?
===========================
Teaching points from this article are the following thread.
#NephTwitter #CKD #Hypertension #HTN
👉Full link for the article: cjasn.asnjournals.org/content/16/3/4…
👉Apparent resistant hypertension is common in CKD.
👉Assessment for pseudoresistance, including out of office BP monitoring, should be done.
👉Nonpharmacologic measures should be reinforced, along with optimizing pharmacologic therapy.

1/4 Brief reading break from COVID tweets?

Happy to share new #HTN work in @JAMAInternalMed​ examining the representativeness of trials underlying 2017 BP guidelines

Takeaway:<1/3 of adults rec'd additional BP meds by guidelines meet trial eligibility

ja.ma/38R5tk5
2/4 Trials most representative of adults 50-69.

Younger adults not included in trials due to low CV risk - benefit of early intensive BP treatment remains unknown

Older adults often excluded due to comorbidities, limited life expectancy, & impaired cognition.
3/4 As a PCP, I think a lot about how pop health initiatives anchor us on numeric targets...

Given these evidence gaps, tailoring of BP treatment recs by degree of BP elevation, competing risks, and time to benefit is likely preferable to unwavering adoption of strict targets
