Patients with ulcerative colitis are more concerned about complications of their disease than side effects of medications.
The survey’s aim was to better understand what aspects of ulcerative colitis (UC) and UC management, are most concerning to patients, and how they would like to be informed about treatment options. It found that most patients (87 percent) wanted to share treatment decision making with their doctors. Patients were most concerned about the risk of colorectal cancer (37 percent), and the possible need for an ileostomy (29 percent).

Predictors of warfarin-associated adverse events in hospitalized patients: Opportunities to prevent patient harm.
The researchers assessed the relationship between daily versus less frequent international normalized ratio ( INR) monitoring and overanticoagulation and warfarin-related adverse events. They bconcluded that daily INR measurement and recognition of a rapidly rising INR might decrease the frequency of warfarin-associated adverse events in hospitalized patients.

Predictors of medication-related problems among Medicaid patients participating in a pharmacist-provided telephonic medication therapy management program.
The objective of this study was to identify predictors of medication-related problems (MRPs) among Medicaid patients participating in a telephonic medication therapy management (MTM) program. The analysis of study results supports the relative importance of number of medications as a predictor of MRPs in the Medicaid population and identifies other predictors.
