abstract = {Pharmacogenetic testing in routine care could provide
benefits for patients, doctors and statutory health
insurances. Therefore, the aim of the retrospective,
observational study Einfluss metabolischer Profile auf die
Arzneimitteltherapiesicherheit in der Routineversorgung
(EMPAR) was to analyze the relationship between
pharmacogenetic profiles, the risk of adverse drug
reactions, and patients' perceptions of drug therapy in
10748 adult (≥18 years) participants in Germany.A
questionnaire was used to assess views and beliefs about
medicines and participants individual perception of
sensitivity to drug therapies. The questionnaire consisted
of the Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire (BMQ)-General
scales (Overuse, Harm, Benefit), the Perceived Sensitivity
to Medicines (PSM), Natural Remedy, and Gene Testing scales.
The influence of gender, age, study collective, genotype and
phenotype of relevant pharmacogenes on participant's
perception were evaluated.Overuse, PSM and Benefit scores
were significantly higher among patients of the collective
International Classification of Diseases and Health Related
Disorders (ICD)-10 Y57.9! diagnosis, which indicates
complications related to drugs, compared to the
anticoagulant/antiplatelet and cholesterol-lowering drug
collective. Age and gender also played a significant role in
patients' perceptions, with younger patients and female
participants more likely to believe in medication overuse
according to the Overuse scale score compared to older and
male participants. Female participants compared to male
participants and the old age group compared to the young
and/or middle-age subgroup, scored higher in PSM and/or Harm
scales, respectively. Only a tendency of increased Harm,
Overuse and PSM scores was observed in the participant group
with five or more relevant actionable variants compared to
subgroups with 0 up to 4 variants.In conclusion, patients'
beliefs about medicines and their drug sensitivity
perceptions are influenced by various factors including age,
gender, previous complications with medicines, and with some
tendency also pharmacogenetic profiles. The higher
association with more negative views related to treatment
indicates that there is a need to target the underlying
issues in affected patient groups in order to improve
compliance to treatment and outcomes in routine care. Trial
registration: EMPAR was registered in the German Clinical
Trials Register (DRKS) on 06 July 2018 (DRKS00013909).},
