Objectives

Narrative objectives1

In this study, we will develop a patient proactiveness evaluation scale that can be used with Japanese patients and verify the indirect effects of comprehensive prescription optimization from polypharmacy through comparisons between Japan and the United States.

Baseline Characteristics

The 196 patients analyzed in Phase 1 and Phase 4 were the same.

Phase1 Participant Background
Cognitive Interviews: 10 patients aged 60 years or older.
Survey Participants: 196 older adults aged 65 years or older taking five or more regular medications. The mean age was 79.2 years, with 118 males and 78 females. The study was conducted at regional clinics and hospitals.

Phase2 Participant Background
Participants were 35 physicians and pharmacists working in hospitals, clinics, and community pharmacies. This included 22 physicians and 13 pharmacists, with years of experience ranging from less than 5 years to over 20 years. Each focus group interview included 4 to 6 participants.

Phase3 Participant Background
Participants were 20 outpatients aged 65 years or older taking five or more regular medications. The mean age was 78 years, with an approximately equal gender distribution. Most participants had multiple chronic conditions and regularly visited medical facilities.

Phase4 Participant Background
Participants were 200 outpatients aged 65 years or older attending primary care clinics and a community hospital in Kanagawa, Japan, with 196 included in the analysis. All participants were taking five or more regular medications. The mean age was 77.5 years, with a nearly equal gender distribution. Most participants had multiple chronic conditions.

Outcome measures

Phase1. Outcome Measures
Structural Validity: Confirmation of the two-factor structure of the Japanese version of SF-PPoD through factor analysis.
Internal Consistency: Evaluation using Cronbach's alpha.
Test-Retest Reliability: Assessment using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) based on repeated responses from the same participants.

Phase2. Outcome Measures
Identification of decision-making processes for deprescribing based on healthcare providers' attitudes, beliefs, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control.
Extraction of factors influencing deprescribing, such as drug types, patient characteristics, environment, and educational experiences.
Identification of facilitators and barriers to deprescribing behavior guided by the theory of planned behavior.

Phase3. Outcome Measures
Extraction of patients' perceptions, experiences, proactiveness, barriers, and enablers related to deprescribing.
Development of patient typologies based on attitudes and behaviors toward deprescribing.

Phase4. Outcome Measures
Changes in the number of medications and subjective health status (including EQ-5D-5L scores) after 24 weeks.
Self-reported frequency of hospitalizations, emergency department visits, and falls.
Associations between baseline SF-PPoD scores and health outcomes, adjusted for covariates using multivariate regression analysis.
