Electronic reminder prompted clinicians to counsel ILD patients on deprescribing inhalers.
Use of an electronic tool contributed to the deprescribing of unnecessary inhalers in patients with interstitial lung disease , based on data from nearly 200 individuals.
"Our aim was twofold: To quantify the extent of inappropriate inhaler use in ILD patients and to discontinue them where appropriate," the researchers wrote. A total of 48 patients were on inhalers, and 15 had no indication for them . The most-prescribed inhalers for patients with no indication were corticosteroids , short-acting beta-agonists , and long-acting beta-agonists .
However, the results suggest that electronic reminders are effective for prompting a review of inhaler use, and deprescribing inappropriate inhalers for ILD patients could reduce the potential for adverse events associated with their use, they concluded.
