Abstract
Objective

Provide consensus recommendations for the optimal management of fixed-dose combination therapies (FCT) in patients with cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) in primary care (PC).

Material and methods

A modified Delphi technique was used. A scientific committee wrote 80 statements addressing controversial issues regarding adherence and the use of FCT in patients with CVRF. A panel of 52 PC specialists, experts in CVRF management and adherence evaluated the questionnaire in two rounds. The work was promoted by the Network of Experts in Adherence in Primary Care (REAAP).

Results

Agreement was reached on 66 of the 80 issues (82.5%). The panellists considered that the adherence of patients with CVRF treated in PC was inadequate, which could have clinical implications. The use of FCT might increase adherence compared to separate treatments. FCT usage promotion in PC was considered necessary, especially in polymedicated patients. Measures such as establishing specific protocols or improving the training of professionals in the FTC use are necessary. The FTC use was recommended as a reduction in long-term cardiovascular events in hypertension was observed, together with changes of the concept of high-intensity statins to high-intensity lipid-lowering therapy in dyslipidemia, or considering the use of FCT if the option was available in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Conclusions

The expert consensus recommendations from this work may facilitate the use of FCT in patients with CVRF in PC.

Resumen
Objetivo

Dar recomendaciones consensuadas sobre el manejo óptimo de las terapias combinadas a dosis fijas (TCDF) en los pacientes con factores de riesgo cardiovascular (FRCV) en atención primaria (AP).

Material y métodos

Se utilizó una técnica Delphi modificada. Un comité científico redactó 80 aseveraciones que abordaban cuestiones controvertidas sobre adherencia y uso de TCDF en los pacientes con FRCV. Un panel de 52 especialistas en AP expertos en el manejo de FRCV y adherencia evaluó el cuestionario en dos rondas. El trabajo fue promovido por la Red de Expertos en Adherencia de Atención Primaria (REAAP).

Resultados

Se llegó a un acuerdo en 66 de las 80 cuestiones (82,5%). Los panelistas consideraron que la adherencia de los pacientes con FRCV atendidos en AP es inadecuada, lo que tiene implicaciones clínicas. El uso de TCDF podría aumentar la adherencia en comparación con los tratamientos por separado. Se consideró necesario fomentar el uso de TCDF en AP, especialmente en pacientes polimedicados. Son necesarias medidas como el establecimiento de protocolos específicos o mejorar la formación de los profesionales en su uso. Se recomendó el uso de TCDF que hayan demostrado reducción de eventos CV a largo plazo en la hipertensión arterial (HTA), cambiar el concepto de estatinas de alta intensidad por el de terapia hipolipemiante de alta intensidad en las dislipemias, o considerar el uso de TCDF si estuviera disponible la combinación requerida en la diabetes mellitus (DM2).

Conclusiones

Las recomendaciones consensuadas de expertos de este trabajo pueden facilitar el uso de TCDF en los pacientes con FRCV en AP.
