Agreement between the pharmacy medication history and patient interview for cardiovascular drugs: the Rotterdam elderly study.
Article in British journal of clinical pharmacology, 1998. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 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
aimsTo study whether there is agreement between cardiovascular drugs presented at patient interview and pharmacy records in an elderly population.
settingThe Rotterdam Elderly Study, a prospective population based cohort study of people older than 55 years of age.
methodsWe compared cardiovascular drug use as presented during patient interview with the computerized pharmacy medication history. Concordance of cardiovascular drug use in patient interview and pharmacy data was measured by merging the two data sets and assessed in two episodes: in a period of 6 months before patient interview and within the legend duration of each cardiovascular drug.
resultsWe found 2706 concordant pairs in a total of 3365 prescriptions (80.4%) in the merged data. There were 195 prescriptions presented at patient interview which had not been filled at the pharmacy, and 464 which had been filled but were not presented by the patient. The percentage of concordant pairs slightly increased to 80.6% (2275 of a total of 2824) for prescriptions of which the legend duration included the date of patient interview. The highest agreement was noted with beta-adrenoceptor blocking agents with Kappa statistics of 0.97 for atenolol and metoprolol. The lowest Kappa statistic was found for organo-heparinoid, mainly as ointments against haemorrhoids (0.26).
conclusionThe agreement between patient interview and pharmacy records is good for prescription only drugs, and pharmacy records are a useful resource for pharmacoepidemiological studies on cardiovascular agents.
