PG - 761 LID - 10.1186/s12891-023-06904-x [doi] LID - 761 AB - BACKGROUND: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) used for osteoarthritis (OA) in primary care may cause gastrointestinal or renal injury. This study estimated adherence to two quality indicators (QIs) to optimize NSAID safety: add proton pump inhibitors (PPI) to NSAIDs for patients with gastrointestinal (GI) risk (QI #1 NSAID-PPI) and avoid oral NSAIDs in chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage G4 or G5 (QI #2 NSAID-CKD). METHODS: This retrospective study included index primary care clinic visits for knee OA at our health system in 2019. The validation cohort consisted of a random sample of 60 patients. The remainder were included in the expanded cohort. Analysis of structured data extracts was validated against chart review of clinic visit notes (validation cohort) and estimated QI adherence (expanded cohort). RESULTS: Among 60 patients in the validation cohort, analysis of data extracts was validated against chart review for QI #1 NSAID-PPI (100% sensitivity and 91% specificity) and QI #2 NSAID-CKD (100% accuracy). Among 335 patients in the expanded cohort, 44% used NSAIDs, 27% used PPIs, 73% had elevated GI risk, and only 2% had CKD stage 4 or 5. Twenty-one percent used NSAIDs and had elevated GI risk but were not using PPIs. Therefore, adherence to QI #1 NSAID-PPI was 79% (95% CI, 74-83%). No patients with CKD stage 4 or 5 used NSAIDs. Therefore, adherence to QI #2 NSAID-CKD was 100%. CONCLUSION: A substantial proportion of knee OA patients with GI risk factors did not receive PPI with NSAID therapy during primary care visits.
