The role of qualification and quality management in the prescription of antipsychotics and potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) in nursing home residents in Germany: results of the HIOPP-3-iTBX study.
Trial report in Aging clinical and experimental research, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundNursing home residents (NHR) show high rates of polypharmacy. The HIOPP-3-iTBX study is the first cRCT on medication optimization in nursing homes (NH) in Germany. The intervention did not result in a reduction of PIM and/or antipsychotics. This analysis looks at structure quality in the HIOPP-3-iTBX study participants.
aimsEvaluation of structure quality as part of a cluster-randomized controlled intervention study.
methodsStructure quality in multiprofessional teams from n = 44 NH (n = 44 NH directors, n = 91 family doctors (FD), and n = 52 pharmacies with n = 62 pharmacists) was assessed using self-designed questionnaires at baseline. Main aspects of the questionnaires related to the qualification of participants, quality management, the medication process and size of the facilities. All completed questionnaires were included. number of PIM/antipsychotics was drawn from the baseline medication analysis in 692 NHR. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and mixed model logistic regression.
resultsThe presence of a nurse with one of the additional qualifications pain nurse or Zertifiziertes Curriculum (Zercur) Geriatrie in the participating NH was associated with a lower risk for the prescription of PIM/antipsychotics. No association between any characteristic in the other participants at baseline was observed. CONCLUSIONS AND DISCUSSION: The results support the known role of nursing qualification in the quality and safety of care. Further studies need to look more closely at how use is made of the additional qualifications within the multiprofessional teams. Perspectively, the results can contribute to the development of quality standards in NH in Germany.
