    Abstract Adequate controlled blood pressure decreases the risk of cardiovascular events. However, the elderly are more vulnerable and thereby more prone to side effects of antihypertensive drugs. A lack of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) studies in older patients makes specific and tailored advices towards antihypertensive drug therapy difficult. The aim of our study, DiffErenCes In antihypertenSive drug levels In patients with hypertensiON (DECISION), is to fill in this PK/PD knowledge gap and move towards precision dosing. DECISION is a prospective observational PK/PD study set up to determine the difference in exposure to the antihypertensive drugs, losartan and perindopril, measured by drug levels in blood. The area under the curve (AUC; PK) and furthermore the association between the AUC and the effect on blood pressure (PD) will be compared between elderly and younger patients.

    Title translation High blood pressure in the hospital: intensify medication or ignore?
    Abstract High blood pressure is a common finding in hospitalized patients. Anxiety, pain and fever can all increase blood pressure to various degrees. The question is whether this adaptive response is harmful and should lead to initiation or intensification of treatment or can be ignored. A recent retrospective study has shown that intensification of blood pressure lowering medication in patients who are hospitalized with non-cardiac conditions is associated with a higher incidence of in-hospital complications, in particular myocardial infarction and renal insufficiency, while another study demonstrated that patients who are discharged from hospital with intensified antihypertensive treatment have an increased risk of readmission without a reduction in cardiac events after one year. Although retrospective in nature, these data show that we should be careful with anti-hypertensive medication in patients hospitalized for non-cardiac conditions and that blood pressure monitoring should be focused on the identification of low rather than high blood pressure values.

    Abstract Objectives: Prescribing errors can lead to inconvenience, morbidity and mortality. It is therefore crucial to educate doctors to prescribe safely, efficiently and effectively. To create an effective educational programme, it is essential to understand which errors are made and by whom. The aim of this study is to explore if the experience level of the doctor influences how many and which prescribing errors are made in a European academic teaching hospital, where a computerised physician order entry system (CPOE) with a clinical decision support system (CDSS) is exclusively used.
    Methods: Prescriptions for all inpatients in an academic teaching hospital were collected in June 2021. All prescriptions with an alert generated by the CDSS which could not be handled by a pharmacy technician according to local protocol were checked for errors. Identified errors were categorised by type and severity.
    Results: A total of 130 538 prescriptions were newly made or altered by doctors. Of these prescriptions, 1914 (1.5%) were retained for a check by the pharmacist. These contained 430 prescribing errors (0.3% of total prescriptions). Doctors not in specialty training and those in specialty training made more prescribing errors than consultants (0.5% and 0.5% vs 0.1%; p<0.001). Doctors in specialty training made relatively more drug-drug interaction errors than consultants (n=31 (16%) vs n=3 (3%), p<0.05). No significant difference was found regarding the severity of the errors.
    Conclusions: Doctors not in specialty training and doctors in specialty training, who are the less experienced doctors, make more prescribing errors than consultants, even with the use of a CPOE combined with CDSS. The type of errors differ between doctors of different experience levels. This finding provides a solid basis for specific additional education to medical students, doctors not in specialty training and doctors in specialty training.

    Abstract Introduction: Hypertension is a modifiable risk factor in patients at the highest risk for cardiovascular events. New invasive treatment options are becoming available that might be particularly appealing for high-risk patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of high-risk patients on routine therapy that do not meet guideline recommended ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) targets.
    Methods: This single-center, cross-sectional study was conducted at the Erasmus University Medical Center (Rotterdam, The Netherlands). Inclusion criteria were: (1) age 18-80 years, (2) drugs prescribed for hypertension or history of hypertension and (3) high cardiovascular risk as defined according to the European Society of Cardiology/European Society of Hypertension (ESC/ESH) guidelines. Patients underwent standardized office blood pressure (OBP) and same-day 24-h ABP measurements. Blood pressure (BP) control was defined according to the 2018 ESC/ESH and 2017 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) guidelines.
    Results: A total of 100 patients were enrolled (median age 71 years, 35% female). Mean OBP was 142.2/81.9 ± 18.6/12.6 mmHg and mean 24-h ABP was 126.1/70.1 ± 14.3/9.2 mmHg. Patients were on 2.0 [25th-75th percentile: 1.0-3.3] Defined Daily Doses of antihypertensive drugs. ESC/ESH guideline 24-h ABP and OBP targets were not met in 41.8% (95%CI: 31.5-52.6%) and 52.7% (95%CI: 42.0-63.3%), respectively. ACC/AHA guideline 24-h ABP and OBP targets were not met in 59.3% (95%CI: 48.5-69.5%) and 79.1% (95%CI: 69.3-86.9%), respectively.
    Conclusions: BP remains uncontrolled in 40-60% of high-risk hypertensive patients despite routine use of guideline-recommended therapy. Our findings support the search towards novel invasive BP lowering treatment options.

    Abstract We aim to investigate sex differences in blood concentrations of spironolactone and the active metabolite canrenone in resistant hypertension patients. Furthermore, sex differences in adherence for spironolactone and other antihypertensive drugs (AHDs) were studied. The patients in this post hoc study had all participated in a single-blind randomized controlled trial called RHYME-RCT (Dutch Trial Register, NL6736). Concentrations in blood of several AHDs were assessed in RHYME-RCT to investigate adherence to treatment. This allowed for a comparison of drug exposure to spironolactone and canrenone between males and females. In linear regression models, no statistically significant sex differences (N = 35) in spironolactone (B =-10.23, SE = 7.92,

    Abstract Aims: Prescribing errors occur frequently, especially among junior doctors. Our aim was to investigate prescribing errors made by final-year medical students. Information on these errors can help to improve education on and assessment of clinical pharmacotherapy (CPT).
    Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study amongst final-year medical students at Erasmus Medical Centre, The Netherlands. Errors made in the final prescribing assessment were analysed. Errors were categorized by type, possible consequence and possibility of reaching the patient in real life.
    Results: A total of 381 students wrote 1502 analysable prescriptions. Forty per cent of these contained at least one error, and 54% of errors were of the inadequate information type. The rating of prescriptions for children was lower than for other question categories (P = <.001). Fifty per cent of errors were classified as "would have reached the patient but would not have had the potential to cause harm". In total, 253 (29%) errors would not have been intercepted by an electronic prescribing system or a pharmacist. Ten (4%) of these would probably have caused harm in the patient.
    Conclusions: There is a high rate of errors in prescriptions written by final-year medical students. Most errors were of the inadequate information type, indicating that students had difficulties determining the content and amount of information needed to make treatment successful. Prescriptions for children contained most errors. Curricula could be improved by offering more case-based CPT education, focusing on the practical issues of prescribing, especially for paediatric cases, and offering more practice time for prescribing during clerkships.

    Abstract Background Anti-cancer vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitors (VEGFI) frequently induce a rise in blood pressure (BP). The most effective treatment of this BP rise is currently unknown, and risk factors and its association with survival remain inconclusive. Methods and Results Baseline characteristics and BP readings were retrospectively collected from oncology patients who received oral VEGFI treatment (sorafenib, sunitinib, pazopanib, regorafenib, lenvatinib, or cabozantinib). Risk factors for a clinically relevant BP rise (increase of ≥20 mm Hg in systolic BP or ≥10 mm Hg in diastolic BP) were investigated via logistic regression (relative), efficacy of antihypertensives via unpaired t-tests, and association of BP rise with survival via Cox regression analysis. In total, 162 (47%) of 343 included patients developed a clinically relevant BP rise ≥7 days after VEGFI treatment initiation. Both calcium channel blockers and renin-angiotensin system inhibitors effectively reduced systolic BP (-24.1 and -18.2 mm Hg, respectively) and diastolic BP (-12.0 and -11.0 mm Hg, respectively). Pazopanib therapy (odds ratio, 2.71 [95% CI, 1.35-5.42;

    Abstract Purpose: As nonadherence to antihypertensive drugs (AHDs) can increase the risk of cardiovascular events, hospitalization, and higher costs, there is a need for a reliable, objective, and easy method to assess nonadherence in patients. The dried blood spot (DBS) sampling method used to measure drug concentrations meets these requirements. For detecting nonadherence, identification is more important than quantification. Owing to their use in clinical practice, it is important to measure multiple AHDs with a single method. Therefore, we developed and validated a single DBS method for 17 commonly used AHDs and 4 active metabolites using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS).
    Methods: Analytical validation of the DBS assay was performed in accordance with the guidelines on bioanalytical method validation of the European Medicines Agency and US Food and Drug Administration as well as the International Association of Therapeutic Drug Monitoring and Clinical Toxicology guidelines.
    Results: We validated 12 of the 17 AHDs according to the European Medicines Agency and Food and Drug Administration requirements for bioanalytical method validation. Eleven AHDs were validated for both identification and quantification of drug concentrations, whereas nifedipine was only validated for identification. However, 5 of the 17 AHDs were excluded due to suboptimal validation results. Lercanidipine was excluded due to nonlinearity, and all 4 AHDs measured in the negative mode of UHPLC-MS/MS were not in accordance with one or more of the acceptance criteria and were therefore excluded.
    Conclusions: The described method accurately measured AHDs in DBS and can be used to determine nonadherence in patients. However, method validation revealed a challenging balance between analytical limitations and clinical needs when analyzing multiple drugs using the same method.
