OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of medical problems, reason for referral/primary complaint, products used, medication-related problems, and polypharmacy in @entity1 with @entity1566 ( @entity1566 ) seen at an interprofessional primary care mobility clinic. DESIGN: Retrospective review of medical records of @entity1 with @entity1566 for @entity1 visits between August 2012 and March 2013. METHODS: Data were abstracted from medical records of @entity1 with @entity1566 . RESULTS: Of 74 @entity1 who presented to the clinic, 19 had an @entity1566 . Mean age was 46.7 years and 74% were male. Most frequent medical problems were @entity308 / @entity148 (37%), @entity170 / @entity2331 (26%), @entity101 (21%), @entity2299 (21%), and @entity571 (21%). Most common presenting complaints were @entity158 (23%) and bowel/bladder issues (13%). Most common medication-related problems were untreated conditions (41%), ineffective medications (21%), adverse drug reactions (18%), and under- and over-dosage (each 9%). @entity1 with @entity1566 most frequently used products to treat @entity158 (68%), @entity1142 (42%), muscle @entity2473 (42%), @entity101 (42%), and @entity308 (37%). When including natural health products, vitamins and minerals, polypharmacy was seen in 74% of @entity1 with @entity1566 (63% when limited to prescription and over-the-counter medications). For @entity1 with @entity1566 in whose care a pharmacist collaborated, a mean of 3.2 medication-related problems per @entity1 were identified compared with 1 per @entity1 when the pharmacist was not involved. CONCLUSION: This study is the first to describe medication use, polypharmacy and medication-related problems in @entity1 with @entity1566 seen at an interprofessional primary care clinic. Use of high-risk medications, polypharmacy, and medication-related problems in @entity1 with @entity1566 suggest the need for collaborative interprofessional care that includes a pharmacist.
