Clinical pharmacy as a guarantee of safety in times of crisis: evolution and relevance of the continued presence of clinical pharmacists in frontline medical units during the first wave of COVID-19.

Unlabelled: BackgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on the organisation of health services worldwide. In the first wave, many therapeutic options were explored, exposing patients to significant iatrogenic risk. In a context in which patient management was not well defined by clear recommendations and in which healthcare professionals were under great stress, was it still relevant to maintain pharmaceutical care or did it bring an additional factor of disorganisation?

Objective: The aim of our study was to compare the relevance of pharmaceutical care practices before and during the COVID-19 crisis.

Information and Communication Technologies in Lung Transplantation: Perception of Patients and Medical Teams.

Optimal therapeutic management is a major determinant of patient prognosis and healthcare costs. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) represent an opportunity to enhance therapeutic management in complex chronic diseases, such as lung transplantation (LT). The objective of this study was to assess the preferences of LT patients and healthcare professionals regarding ICTs in LT therapeutic management.

Successful Training of Patients to Intervene in Health Education and Clinical Research at Grenoble Patient School.

The primary goal of patient and public involvement (PPI) in healthcare is to improve individual and population health outcomes. This study reports on the successful training of patients to be involved in patient education as peers and clinical research at Grenoble Patients' School (GPS). GPS was founded by patients as an independent association to train patients to the above objectives tasks.

Gout and Levodopa: An unknown adverse effect?

We report the case of a 77-year-old man with Parkinson's disease (PD) who experimented for the first time gout crisis after the initiation of levodopa. Levodopa was withdrawn, and colchicine and allopurinol were initiated to treat the gout crisis. Because of PD progression, levodopa was reintroduced, and the patient presented relapse of gout flare.

CLEO: a multidimensional tool to assess clinical, economic and organisational impacts of pharmacists' interventions.

Objectives: Clinical pharmacists' interventions (PIs) are an important element in ensuring good pharmaceutical care. We aimed to develop and validate a comprehensive multidimensional tool for assessing the potential impact of PIs for daily practice of medication review.

Methods: Experts of the French Society of Clinical Pharmacy (SFPC) developed the CLinical, Economic and Organisational (CLEO) tool, consisting of three independent dimensions concerning clinical, economic and organisational impact.

Clinical evaluation of pharmacists' interventions on multidisciplinary lung transplant outpatients' management: results of a 7-year observational study.

Objectives: Lung transplant (LT) recipients require multidisciplinary care because of the complexity of therapeutic management. Pharmacists are able to detect drug-related problems and provide recommendations to physicians through pharmacists' interventions (PIs). We aimed at assessing the clinical impact of PIs on therapeutic management in LT outpatients.

[Development, validation and reliability of the CAM Practitioner Use Questionnaire (CAMP-Q)].

Introduction: The objectives of this work were: 1) to develop and validate a questionnaire to understand several dimensions of the use of CAM practitioners in France and 2) to evaluate the test-retest reliability of each of its items.Purpose of research: Development and validation (face validity): A questionnaire was created and then analyzed by 7 experts, including 3 social scientists.
