Factors associated with a basic common drug-drug interaction knowledge among emergency department medical personnel.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are common but less concerning in clinical practice of time-sensitive situations. We aimed to identify factors associated with a basic common DDI knowledge among an emergency physician (EP), an emergency medicine resident (EMR), and an emergency care nurse (ECN).

Methods

This was a prospective cross-sectional study. EP, EMR, and ECN did the examination (multiple-choice questions, 40 points) about common DDI. Prespecified factors associated with examination scores were profession, longer emergency medicine experience, pharmacological training, last advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS) training, DDI checker book, and application user experience. The outcome was an examination score to evaluate the ability of DDI knowledge. Univar
