INTRODUCTION: Older adults with prostate cancer (PC) are at risk of polypharmacy, which further complicates disease management and health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study evaluated the association between polypharmacy and HRQoL among Medicare beneficiaries with PC.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This observational, retrospective study analyzed data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Medicare Health Outcomes Survey (MHOS) data resource. Beneficiaries aged ≥65 and enrolled in Medicare Advantage Organizations were included if they had a PC diagnosis and continuously enrolled in Part D for 12 months prior to the completion of MHOS. Polypharmacy was determined based on the unique number of concurrent Part D prescriptions during 12 months before survey: no polypharmacy (NP, n = 0-4), polypharmacy (PP, n = 5-9), and excessive polypharmacy (EPP, n ≥ 10). HRQoL was assessed using the Physical and Mental Component Summary T-scores (PCS and MCS, respectively) in MHOS. ANOVA and Pearson's Chi-Square tests were performed to assess variances between polypharmacy and continuous/categorical variables. Multivariate linear regression models with generalized estimating equations were used to assess the association between polypharmacy and HRQoL. The severely impaired HRQoL cohort was identified based on normalized z-scores of PCS and MCS. Odds ratios were calculated to prioritize drug-drug and class-class pairs associated with patients with severely impaired HRQoL.
RESULTS: Data from 16,573 beneficiaries (24,126 records) showed that 44.4% had PP and 10.1% had EPP. Beneficiaries with PP and EPP had significantly lower mean PCS and MCS scores compared to those without polypharmacy (p < 0.001). After adjusting for covariates, beneficiaries with EPP had clinically significantly lower PCS (adjusted marginal difference: -8.47 [-9.00, -7.94]) and MCS (adjusted marginal difference: -4.32 [-4.89, -3.75]) compared to the NP group. Top-ranked drug-drug pairs like tiotropium bromide and oxycodone/acetaminophen exhibited significant associations with HRQoL decline. Analysis of class-class pairs highlighted (1) corticosteroid hormone receptor agonists and opioid agonists and (2) benzodiazepines and adrenergic beta2-agonists as having significant associations with HRQoL decline.
DISCUSSION: Polypharmacy exhibits a significant association with HRQoL declines among older adults with PC.
