Prevalence of Unplanned Hospitalizations Caused by Adverse Drug Reactions in Older Veterans
Zachary A. Marcum,Megan E. Amuan,Joseph T. Hanlon,Sherrie L. Aspinall,Sherrie L. Aspinall,Steven M. Handler,Christine M. Ruby,Mary Jo Pugh +7 more
TL;DR: The prevalence of unplanned hospitalizations caused by adverse drug reactions in older veterans and the association between this outcome and polypharmacy after controlling for comorbidities and other patient characteristics are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of Azithromycin With Mortality and Cardiovascular Events Among Older Patients Hospitalized With Pneumonia
Eric M. Mortensen,Ethan A. Halm,Mary Jo Pugh,Laurel A. Copeland,Mark L. Metersky,Michael J. Fine,Christopher S. Johnson,Carlos A. Alvarez,Carlos A. Alvarez,Christopher R. Frei,Christopher R. Frei,Chester B. Good,Marcos I. Restrepo,John R. Downs,Antonio Anzueto +14 more
TL;DR: Among older patients hospitalized with pneumonia, treatment that included azithromycin compared with other antibiotics was associated with a lower risk of 90-day mortality and a smaller increased risk of myocardial infarction, consistent with a net benefit associated with azithroitcin use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of statins and ACE inhibitors on mortality after COPD exacerbations
Eric M. Mortensen,Laurel A. Copeland,Mary Jo Pugh,Marcos I. Restrepo,Rosa Malo de Molina,Brandy Nakashima,Antonio Anzueto +6 more
TL;DR: Use of statins and ACE inhibitors prior to admission is associated with decreased mortality in subjects hospitalized with a COPD exacerbation, and Randomized controlled trials are needed to examine whether the use of these medications are protective for those patients with COPD exacerbateations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of insulin use on glycemic control: How well do adults follow prescriptions for insulin?
Joyce A. Cramer,Mary Jo Pugh +1 more
TL;DR: HbA1c higher than the recommended level suggested that the rate of insulin use, the prescribed regimen, or both were inadequate to achieve good glycemic control in patients with long-term insulin use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population-Based Study of Statins, Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers, and Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors on Pneumonia-Related Outcomes
Eric M. Mortensen,Eric M. Mortensen,Brandy Nakashima,John E. Cornell,Laurel A. Copeland,Mary Jo Pugh,Mary Jo Pugh,Antonio Anzueto,Chester B. Good,Marcos I. Restrepo,John R. Downs,John R. Downs,Christopher R. Frei,Christopher R. Frei,Michael J. Fine +14 more
TL;DR: Statins, and to a lesser extent ACE inhibitors and ARBs, are associated with improved pneumonia-related outcomes and prospects of further studies are needed to examine potential mechanisms of action and whether acute initiation at the time of presentation with these infections is beneficial.
