BERMUDEZ-CARVAJAL, Kattia; QUESADA-MORUA, María Soledad; BRENES-AGUILAR, Adriana y ARIAS-PORRAS, Gloria. Pharmacotherapeutic follow-up guide for pediatric patients with chronic kidney disease. Ars Pharm [online]. 2021, vol.62, n.3, pp.249-259. Epub 27-Sep-2021. ISSN 2340-9894. https://dx.doi.org/10.30827/ars.v62i3.16244.
Introduction:
In Latin America, there is a wide body of information on the development and implementation of pharmaceutical care programes for children, with positive results for the patients and their parents. However, there are no such reports for Costa Rica.
Aim:
To develop a pharmaceutical follow-up protocolo for pediatric patients with chronic renal disease, who attend the Hospital Nacional de Niños Dr. Carlos Sáenz Herrera, in order to enhance adherence to therapy.
Results:
We developed and validated a pharmaceutical follow-up protocol. This protocol included three sections: demographic data collection, pharmacotherapeutic, clinical and adherence history review, study phase and registry. We adapted an adherence instrument to be used on pediatric patients and developed four different types of educational material.
Conclusions:
The pharmacists considered the protocol and educational materials to be useful for the pharmacotherapeutic follow-up service, to promote adherence in pediatric patients.
