Abstract

Background: Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is highly prevalent in older people. In elderly patients, there are many factors involved in OH such as drug use such as antihypertensive drugs, antidepressants, alpha sympathomimetic blockers, Parkinson’s disease medications, etc.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between OH and multidrug-use in elderly patients at 175 Military Hospital.

Method: 351 hypertensive patients ≥ 60 years old who are on outpatient treatment at the Cardiology clinic of 175 Military Hospital from October 2019 to March 2020. Descriptive, analytical cross-sectional study. Data were collected according to variables related to hypertension measurement and drug use records.

Results: The percentage of OH in this study was 26.2%. Hypertension detection time from 5 – 10 years accounted for 46.2%. Both groups who use 2 and 3 anti-hypertension drugs accounted for over 30% of cases. Receptor inhibitors were used the most with 67.8%, then beta blockers with 62.7%, and the least was alpha inhibitors had 5.7%

Conclusion: Multidrug-use is a risk factor of OH. Multiple drugs and drug interactions can cause undesirable side effects in the elderly patients. The identification of the involved drugs could be of value for the prevention of OH and its complications.
