Objectives: To develop a procedure for management of off-label medications, and to analyze the treatments, indications, and hospital units which will request them more frequently, as well as which variables will have an impact on the authorization decision, and its economic impact. Methods: A procedure was designed where clinicians would complete request forms and the Hospital Unit would prepare reports assessing their efficacy, safety, convenience, and cost. The request forms for the past five years were analyzed. Results: A total of 834 applications were received, and 88.1% of these were accepted. The authorization rates were higher for Paediatric Units (95.7% vs. 86.6%; p<0.05). The reasons for considering prescriptions as off-label were: different indication (73.2%), different combination (10.2%), different line of treatment (8.6%) and different age (8%). A 73.4% of requests were for antineoplastic drugs, and the most frequently prescribed were rituximab (120) and bevacizumab (103). The quality of evidence supporting the prescriptions was moderate-low, though no direct relationship with the likelihood of approval was demonstrated (p = 0.413). The cost of the approved medications was 8,567,537 €, and the theoretical savings for those drugs rejected was of 2,268,642 €. There was a statistically significant decrease in the authorization rate (p < 0.05, Student's t test) when spending increased. Conclusions: The responsibility for assessing off-label prescriptions has fallen on the Pharmacy Unit. It has not been demonstrated that the quality of evidence represents a decisive variable for approval of treatment; on the other hand, age and cost have demonstrated a significant impact.

Introducción: la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) recomienda la vacunación antigripal a todos los trabajadores sanitarios. En España la cobertura oscila entre 11,4 y 38%. Objetivo: conocer si el refuerzo informativo en una campaña antigripal puede aumentar la cobertura vacunal en los trabajadores hospitalarios. Métodos: dos fases de estudio. Primera Fase: campaña 2012, estudio descriptivo observacional a trabajadores del hospital para conocer cobertura y motivos de aceptación o rechazo de la vacuna. Segunda Fase: campaña 2013, desarrollar una novedosa campaña informativa desmitificando las falsas creencias que motivaron la no vacunación en la temporada anterior; posteriormente, estudio descriptivo transversal y comparación de resultados con la temporada anterior. Resultados: un 37% de los trabajadores vacunados afirman que la campaña informativa ha influido en su decisión; existiendo significación estadística entre la influencia de la campaña informativa y el no tener antecedentes previos de vacunación (p<0.002). No existe asociación entre la influencia de la campaña y la categoría profesional (p<0.12), el servicio adscrito (p<0.3) o el sexo (p<0.085). La cobertura vacunal se mantuvo sin cambios en un 36%. Conclusiones: se podría decir que las campañas informativas parece que ejercen poca influencia sobre la cobertura vacunal, pero son necesarias para mantener y captar a nuevos trabajadores; tal vez para mejorar su eficacia deberían reforzarse con vídeos divulgativos, implicar a los servicios y orientarlas por categorías y áreas.
