Tóm tắt

Introduction: Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) usage should be carefully considered based on gastrointestinal (GI) and cardiovascular (CV) risks. In light of restricted evidence, this study aims to assess the prescription of NSAIDs concerning the GI and CV risks in the integrated treatment of Traditional medicine (TM) and Western medicine (WM). Materials and method: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 393 medical records of inpatients using NSAIDs in 2022 at the Traditional Medicine Hospital of Ho Chi Minh City. GI and CV risks, as well as information regarding NSAID prescriptions, were recorded. A multivariable regression model was employed to identify factors associated with the prescription of NSAID groups. Results: NSAIDs were primarily prescribed for musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders (87.28%). Approximately half of the cases exhibited moderate to high GI risk (47.59%), while for CV risk, there were 68.95% with moderate to very high risk. COX-2 inhibitors were the most commonly prescribed (94.66%), even when considering GI and CV risks separately. In the majority, NSAID prescriptions aligned with both risks according to American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) guidelines (73.79%). The prescription of NSAID groups was significantly influenced by patient gender, ailment type, and physician education (p<0.05), but not by GI and CV risks (p>0.05). Conclusion: Patients receiving NSAIDs in integrated TM and WM treatment often faced an increased GI and CV risk, with the majority adhering to ACG guidelines. However, GI and CV risks were not significantly considered for NSAID group selections. Multi-center studies should be conducted.
