.. the frequency of the use of medication ... Explanation: The incident use of medication is in connection with the frequency or regularity and occurrence of its usage. The first reference below cites examples and statistics of narcotics use. The second reference is focused on statistics of potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) which was prescribed to patients for specified conditions. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1060028017708394 "Potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) increase the risk of adverse drug reactions and events, and have been associated with greater health care service use such as an increased risk of hospitalization." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 17 hrs (2021-04-19 02:30:59 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "When it's an adjective, incident is followed by, related to or dependent on something else. When it's a noun, an incident is a particular event or occurrence of minor importance which could entail serious consequences. It's a disruptive event of distinct occurrence which interrupts normal procedures or functions, a mishap. It can be a minor, subsidiary or connected event or action. It's contingent to, related to or dependent on something else." https://www.thefreedictionary.com/incident Example sentence(s):

peer agreement (net): +2| incident use new use Explanation: Incident users of a drug are new users, e.g. you can see all the prescriptions they've had for the past year and this is their first prescription that includes the drug of interest. This would be in opposition to prevalent users, who were already taking the drug of interest before the start of follow-up. "Incident cases comprise cases newly diagnosed during a defined time period. " https://www.healthknowledge.org.uk/e-learning/epidemiology/p... "Incident use was defined as no receipt of a medication within the same ODB subclass as the index non-opioid drug in the year prior to index" https://erj.ersjournals.com/content/48/3/683 |
