Brief Summary:
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a life threatening condition. In PH, pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thrombo-embolic chronic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) are two rare diseases requiring specific and complex drug management. In France ,a part of these treatments ,only available in hospital pharmacies, are generally unknown from community health care professionals despite the high risk of drug-interactions and side effects. Anticipating medication errors at the begging of the disease is therefore important, and could be done through medication reconciliation.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Pulmonary Hypertension Pulmonary Hypertension Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Other: Medication reconciliation

Detailed Description:
Medication reconciliation (MR) will be done for patients hospitalized in the French referral center for PH for PAH or CTEPH. Detected medication errors will be tracked and fixed by the physician before the end of hospitalization. A synthesis of new/stopped and modified treatments will be given to the patient as well as his related healthcare professionals (community pharmacist and general practioner) to ensure the maintaining of the new therapeutic management and the understanding of drugs modification. To compare the potential decrease of medication errors promoted by MR, a retrospective MR will be also done for patients without MR at 1st hospitalization but at the next one (3 to 6 months after).

Study Type : Observational
Estimated Enrollment : 160 participants
Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
Official Title: Optimizing Drug Management of Patients Suffering From Rare Disease Through Medication Reconciliation: Proof of Concept in Pulmonary Hypertension
Actual Study Start Date : February 15, 2021
Estimated Primary Completion Date : August 1, 2022
Estimated Study Completion Date : August 1, 2022


Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
Patients with medication reconciliation
Patient with medication reconciliation during 1st hospitalization
Other: Medication reconciliation
MR will be performed directly upon entering the patient's hospital for a first PAH or HTP-Thrombo embolic assessment, just after inclusion. Information regarding the treatments taken by the patient at the time of admission will be retrieved. The entry medication assessment will then be compared with the first medical prescription in order to identify whether medications have been forgotten, prescribed at a different dosage or prescribed when not indicated, etc. All of these differences will be considered medication errors if the reason for the discrepancy is not entered in the patient medical file.

Patients without medication reconciliation
Patient without medication reconciliation (MR) at 1st hospitalization but with retrospective MR at the next one (3 to 6 months after)
Other: Medication reconciliation
After inclusion of the patient, the MR will be carried out retrospectively, that is to say that the information concerning the treatments taken by the patient at the time of the first assessment will be retrieved during the period of the first reassessment (therefore with a delay of 3 to 6 months depending on the deadline for the first assessment). All these discrepancies will be considered medication errors if the reason for the discrepancy was not entered in the patient's computerized medical record (IMR).




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Proportion of patients having at least one medication error on discharge at the first hospitalization. [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    This group will be compared to patients without prospective MR. For the latter group, MR is retrospective (3 to 6 months after discharge).


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Qualitative description of identified medication errors. [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Omission, dosing errors, drug interactions, substitution of another active compound

  2. Medication errors status [ Time Frame: 6 Months ]
    corrected/not corrected

  3. Identification of medication error severity [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Cornish scale is the title of the scale which include 3 levels of gravity (from 1 to 3). The first one describes no relevant clinical impact and the third one describes a severe clinical impact.

  4. Satisfaction of community healthcare practitioners with study tools [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    healthcare practitioners will be contacted by mail or phone

  5. Therapeutic adherence [ Time Frame: between 3 to 6 months after first hospitalization for the diagnosis of the disease ]
    Observance Girerd auto-questionnaire

  6. Measure of Quality of life [ Time Frame: between 3 to 6 months after first hospitalization for the diagnosis of the disease ]
    Short Form 36 Questionnaire

  7. Increased of vaccination coverage rate [ Time Frame: between 3 to 6 months after first hospitalization for the diagnosis of the disease ]
    inclusion vaccination coverage rate vs EOS(Enhanced Outreach Strategy) vaccination coverage rate

  8. Emergency hospitalization [ Time Frame: between 3 to 6 months after first hospitalization for the diagnosis of the disease ]
    Number of emergency hospitalizations between first assessment hospitalization (diagnosis) and first reassessment hospitalization
