Analysis of Longitudinal Patterns and Predictors of Medicine Use in Residential Aged Care Using Group‐Based Trajectory Modeling: The “MEDTRAC‐Cardiovascular” Longitudinal Cohort Study

Nasir Wabe, Andrea Timothy, Rachel Urwin, Ying Xu, more

Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety > 33 > 8 > n/a - n/a

Aim Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally. Ensuring ongoing use of medicines—medication persistence—is crucial, yet no prior studies have examined this in residential aged care facilities (RACFs). We aimed to identify long‐term trajectories of persistence with cardiovascular medicines and determine predictors of persistence trajectories. Method A longitudinal cohort study...

Hospitalisations before and after entry into a residential aged care facility: An interrupted time series analysis

Karla Seaman, Guogui Huang, Nasir Wabe, Amy Nguyen, more

Australasian Journal on Ageing > 43 > 1 > 61 - 70

Objective Hospitalisations are an important indicator of safety and quality of care in residential aged care facilities (RACFs). This study aimed to investigate changes in hospital use 12 months before and 12 months after RACF entry using routinely collected data from 25 Australian RACFs. Methods This was a retrospective longitudinal cohort study using linked aged care provider and hospital record...

Just visiting: A qualitative study of Australian allied health professionals' experiences working in residential aged care facilities during the COVID‐19 pandemic

Isabelle Meulenbroeks, Karla Seaman, Magdalena Z. Raban, Nasir Wabe, more

Australasian Journal on Ageing > 42 > 4 > 690 - 697

Objectives Internationally, the COVID‐19 pandemic has negatively impacted health professionals' experiences of delivering effective care. The experiences of health professionals are important: poor experience has been associated with poorer patient outcomes and high staff turnover. This study aimed to narratively explore the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on the experience of delivering allied health...

Potentially redundant repeat liver function test ordering practices in australian hospitals: A 5‐year multicentre retrospective observational study

Nasir Wabe, Rae‐Anne Hardie, Robert Lindeman, Craig Scowen, more

International Journal of Clinical Practice > 75 > 5 > n/a - n/a

Background Repeat Liver Function Tests (LFTs) are often necessary for monitoring purposes, but retesting within a short time interval may suggest potentially redundant repeat test (PRRT) ordering practices. We aimed to determine the proportion of potentially redundant repeat LFT ordering and identify associated factors in hospitals. Methods A 5‐year (2014‐2018) retrospective cohort study in six...

Factors associated with medication adherence in a longitudinal study of rheumatoid arthritis patients

Nasir Wabe, Anita Lee, Mihir Wechalekar, Leah McWilliams, more

International Journal of Clinical Practice > 73 > 7 > n/a - n/a

Background Identification of key determinants of medication adherence may assist with designing interventions to improve this important parameter. The aim of the study was to determine the rate and predictors of self‐reported medication adherence in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) over one‐year follow‐up. Methods Socio‐demographic, disease, therapy and patient‐related factors were obtained...

An evaluation of variation in pathology investigations and associated factors for adult patients presenting to emergency departments with chest pain: An observational study

Nasir Wabe, Maria R. Dahm, Ling Li, Robert Lindeman, more

International Journal of Clinical Practice > 73 > 3 > n/a - n/a

Objective To determine variation in pathology test ordering practices and identify associated factors for adult patients presenting to emergency departments (ED) with chest pain and subsequently admitted with ischaemic heart disease. Methods A retrospective study across six hospital EDs in New South Wales, Australia. A total of 6769 patient presentations between January 2014 and December 2017 met...

Disease activity trajectories in early rheumatoid arthritis following intensive DMARD therapy over 3 years: association with persistence to therapy

Nasir Wabe, Jessica Wojciechowski, Mihir D. Wechalekar, Leslie G. Cleland, more

International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases > 20 > 10 > 1447 - 1456

Objective To identify the disease activity trajectories during intensive triple disease modifying anti‐rheumatic drug (DMARD) therapy over 3 years in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and to evaluate the association with treatment persistence. Methods Disease Activity Score in 28 joints, baseline risk factors and medication usage were obtained from a longitudinal observational cohort of early...

Determining the acceptable level of physician compliance with a treat‐to‐target strategy in early rheumatoid arthritis

Nasir Wabe, Michael J. Sorich, Mihir D. Wechalekar, Leslie G. Cleland, more

International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases > 20 > 5 > 576 - 583

Objective To determine the minimum cut‐points for rate of physician compliance with a treat‐to‐target (T2T) strategy needed to achieve optimal rates of remission or low disease activity (LDA). Method In this analysis of longitudinal observational data from patients with early RA, physician compliance with a T2T treatment protocol was determined for each clinic visit over 3 years. Remission and...

Treating rheumatoid arthritis to target: physician and patient adherence issues in contemporary rheumatoid arthritis therapy

Nasir Wabe, Michael D. Wiese

Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice > 23 > 3 > 486 - 493

Development of the treat‐to‐target (T2T) strategy, the process whereby drug therapy is adjusted until the therapeutic goal is achieved, has revolutionized how rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients are treated. With the advent of T2T, the management of RA is more effective than ever, with the possibility of remission and other favorable clinical and patient‐reported outcomes. Effective implementation...

Adherence to combination DMARD therapy and treatment outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis: a longitudinal study of new and existing DMARD users

Nasir Wabe, Anita Lee, Mihir Wechalekar, Leah McWilliams, more

Rheumatology International > 2017 > 37 > 6 > 897-904

Medication adherence is believed to be a major contributor to treatment outcomes yet studies quantifying this relationship as rare in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). To determine the association of adherence to DMARD therapy with treatment outcomes among new and existing DMARD users over 2 years. Relevant clinical parameters were obtained from a longitudinal cohort of RA patients, most of who were treated...

Characterising deviation from treat-to-target strategies for early rheumatoid arthritis: the first three years

Nasir Wabe, Michael J Sorich, Mihir D Wechalekar, Leslie G Cleland, more

Arthritis Research & Therapy > 2015 > 17 > 1 > 1-14

Introduction Treat-to-target (T2T) strategies using a protocol of pre-defined adjustments of disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) according to disease activity improve outcomes for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, successful implementation may be limited by deviations from the protocol. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of protocol deviation, explore...
