RESUMO:

Introduction: Drug Related Problems (DRP) is any events related to pharmacotherapy that actually or potentially interferes with desirable clinical outcomes. DRPs are very common in intensive care, however, little is known about DRPs in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Objective: To characterize DRP in neonatal intensive care according to type, cause and pharmaceutical conducts, identifying factors and medications associated with their occurrence. Methods: An observational study was conducted in NICU of teaching hospital in Brazil from January 2014 to November 2016, based on the records of the clinical pharmacy service, excluding neonates with length of stay< 24 hours and with no prescribed drugs. DRPs were classified according to the Pharmaceutical Care Network Europe system and assessed for safety-relevance. Logistic regression analysis was applied to identify factors and drugs associated with DRPs. Results: Six hundred neonates were included in the study with mean gestational age of 31.99±4.1 weeks and birth weight of 1,779.4±885,3 g. The incidence of DRP was 67.7 cases/1,000 patient-days (95%CI 62.0 – 73.4). Sub-optimal effect (52.8%) and inappropriate dose choice (39.75%) were the most common problem and cause, respectively. Most of the pharmaceutical interventions were performed at the prescription level, with more than 90% being accepted by the NICU team. Number of medications (OR 1.19; 95%CI 1.09 – 1.30), number of clinical problems (OR 1.17; 95%CI 1.01 – 1.37), length of stays (OR 1.05; 95%CI 1.02 – 1.07) and vaginal delivery (OR 1.61; IC95% 1.04-2.50) were associated with DRPs. Medicines with increased risk for DRP were alprostadil, amikacin, aminophylline, amphotericin B, ciprofloxacin, fluconazole, gentamicin, meropenem, phenobarbital and vancomycin. These drugs represent only one-third of all prescribed drugs. Conclusions: DRPs are very common in NICU, predominating problems of sub-optimal treatment, mainly due to inappropriate dose choice.
