OBJECTIVE To formulate Guidelines for the standardized implementation of pharmacist-managed clinics ( 2026 edition ) in response to the challenges faced by such clinics in China, including uneven development, large discrepancies in service specifications, insufficient patient awareness, and limited medical insurance coverage. METHODS Led by the Pharmaceutical Affairs Professional Committee of the Chinese Hospital Association, the Evidence-based Pharmacy Professional Committee of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association, and the Hospital Pharmacy Professional Committee of the Cross-strait Medical and Health Exchange Association, a total of 19 domestic hospital pharmacy experts were organized. Through a systematic review of national policies and literature research, current practical experience was summarized. Consensus on the contents of the guidelines was reached after in-depth discussions. RESULTS &CONCLUSIONS The guidelines covered five sections: definition and connotation of pharmacist-managed clinics, establishment requirements, implementation and management, post competency, and practical research. Firstly, the definition and connotation included three operational forms of pharmacist-managed clinics (independent mode, physician-pharmacist joint mode, and online pharmacist-managed clinic mode) and classified service modes (specialty-specific, drug-specific, and disease-specific pharmacist-managed clinics). The establishment requirements were further refined, covering system construction (pharmaceutical service management system, quality control and assessment mechanism), personnel qualifications (professional credentials, continuing education and professional training, etc), service recipients, as well as service venues and facilities. Subsequently, the implementation and management of pharmacist-managed clinics were proposed, involving service procedures, intervention measures, documentation and records, patient education and follow-up, humanistic care, as well as risk management and quality control. Finally, post competency encompassed the competency requirements for pharmacists providing services in pharmacist-managed clinics, as well as the suggestions on teaching methods; practical research encouraged the conduct of high-quality pharmaceutical practice in the setting of pharmacist-managed clinics. The guidelines provide valuable guidance for the standardized implementation of pharmacist-managed clinics in China in terms of establishment, management, teaching, and research, fill the guideline gap in this field, and can promote the high-quality development of pharmacist-managed clinics.

Mycophenolic acid (MPA), the active moiety of both mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS), serves as a primary immunosuppressant for maintaining solid organ transplants. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) enhances treatment outcomes through tailored approaches. This study aimed to develop an evidence-based guideline for MPA TDM, facilitating its rational application in clinical settings. The guideline plan was drawn from the Institute of Medicine and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Using the Delphi method, clinical questions and outcome indicators were generated. Systematic reviews, Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) evidence quality evaluations, expert opinions, and patient values guided evidence-based suggestions for the guideline. External reviews further refined the recommendations. The guideline for the TDM of MPA (IPGRP-2020CN099) consists of four sections and 16 recommendations encompassing target populations, monitoring strategies, dosage regimens, and influencing factors. High-risk populations, timing of TDM, area under the curve (AUC) versus trough concentration (C0), target concentration ranges, monitoring frequency, and analytical methods are addressed. Formulation-specific recommendations, initial dosage regimens, populations with unique considerations, pharmacokinetic-informed dosing, body weight factors, pharmacogenetics, and drug-drug interactions are covered. The evidence-based guideline offers a comprehensive recommendation for solid organ transplant recipients undergoing MPA therapy, promoting standardization of MPA TDM, and enhancing treatment efficacy and safety.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) after laparoscopic Heller-Dor surgery for esophageal achalasia.Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinical data of 210 patients with esophageal achalasia who were admitted to Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were collected. There were 119 males and 91 females, aged (47±12)years. All patients underwent laparoscopic Heller-Dor surgery. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) follow-up; (3) influencing factors for GERD after laparoscopic Heller-Dor surgery; (4) development and evaluation of a predictive model for GERD after laparoscopic Heller-Dor surgery. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using stepwise Logistic regression. Results of multivariate analysis were used to construct a nomogram in predicting GERD. The predictive performance was assessed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. The calibration curve was used to evaluate the accuracy of the model, and the decision curve was used to assess the overall net benefit of the model.Results:(1) Surgical situations. All 210 patients underwent laparoscopic Heller-Dor surgery. The operation time was (128±31)minutes, volume of intraoperative blood loss was (25±9)mL, and length of lower esophageal sphincter (LES) myotomy was (5±3)cm. The length of low esophageal myotomy >6 cm was performed in 49 patients, and length of gastric fundus myotomy >2 cm was performed in 58 patients. Intraoperative mucosal perforation occurred to 3 patients and was repaired intraoperatively. One patient required conversion to open surgery. Postoperative complications occurred in 18 patients. The duration of postoperative hospital stay was (4.3±2.4)days. (2) Follow-up. All 210 patients were followed up for 4(range,7-33)months after surgery. During follow-up, 32 pati-ents had GERD, including 17 cases presenting dysphagia and 25 cases presenting acid regurgitation and heartburn (the same patient may have two symptoms). There were 29 cases with body mass index (BMI) >28 kg/m2. Symptom severity scores of 210 patients showed heartburn of 0.6(range, 0-3.0), reflux of 0.7(range, 0-3.0), chest pain of 0.4(range, 0-2.0), cough and hoarseness of 0.5(range, 0-2.0), nausea and vomiting 0.3(range, 0-2.0), dysphagia 0.8(range, 0-3.0). The LES pressure was (15±8)mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), LES relaxation rate was 81%±13.0%, and integrated relaxation pressure was (9±6)mmHg. Esophageal manometry classification showed type Ⅰ, Ⅱ, and Ⅲ in 0, 8, and 0 patients, respectively. There were 208 patients achieved symptom relief after drug or symptomatic treatment. Only two patients with severe symptoms were unresponsive to medication and subsequently underwent surgery at another hospital, with symptoms improving postoperatively. (3) Influen-cing factors for GERD after laparoscopic Heller-Dor surgery. Results of multivariate analysis showed that male, smoking history, length of lower esophageal myotomy >6 cm, and postoperative BMI >28 kg/m2 were independent risk factors for GERD after laparoscopic Heller-Dor surgery ( odds ratio=4.02, 6.34, 5.41, 7.38, 95% confidence interval as 1.50-10.78, 3.31-12.31, 1.77-13.47, 2.80-15.42, P<0.05). (4) Development and evaluation of a predictive model for GERD after laparoscopic Heller-Dor surgery. A predictive nomogram model for GERD was constructed based on the results of multivariate analysis. The receiver operating characteristic curve of predictive nomogram model for GERD had an area under curve of 0.91 (95% confidence interval as 0.82-0.97), demonstrating good discrimination. The calibration curve showed good agreement between predicted and observed probabilities, with a mean absolute error of 0.033. The decision curve demonstrated that within a threshold probability range of 0.2-0.8, the predictive model had greater net benefit than "treat-all" or "treat-none" strategies, indicating clinical utility of this model in clinical decision. Conclusions:Male, smoking history, length of lower esophageal myotomy >6 cm, and postoperative BMI >28 kg/m2 are independent risk factors for GERD after laparoscopic Heller-Dor surgery for esophageal achalasia. The predictive model for GERD after laparoscopic Heller-Dor surgery based on these factors shows strong predictive accuracy.
