■ 要旨
This study was conducted for patients aged ≥ 55 years who received major five classes of chronic disease medications in FY 2019. The proportion of oversupplied patients, and the excess days and costs of oversupplied medications were calculated. Logistic regression models were utilized to analyze related factors and causes of oversupply were classified by reviewing history of prescription and dispensing. The proportions of oversupplied patients and excessively oversupplied patients were approximately 16% and 1–2% for all medication classes, respectively. Notable related factors for all classes were greater frequency of early supply and inpatient prescription. The most prominent category of causes was ‘Early supply of medications prescribed by a single facility’, irrespective of classes.
