[Quality recording of information in the health centre medical records on the use of analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs].
BACKGROUND
To examine medical records within a health centre to determine whether there are data in the information process on the secondary effects and interactions of analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs, and to determine the patient profile as regards whether or not this information is recorded in their medical records.


METHODS
Descriptive, cross-sectional study based on electronic medical records in the Mariano Yago Primary Care Centre in Yecla (Murcia), Spain. A systematic random sample of 232 electronic medical records was reviewed. All the 232 patients, of legal age, gave their consent to review of their electronic medical records for the purposes of the study.


RESULTS
The percentage of doctors who recorded the fact that they had provided information regarding secondary effects and non-compatibilities of the prescription of analgesic and antiinflammatory drugs was 21.6%. The factors involved in the non- recording of this information in the medical record were the type of prescription, the type of analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug prescribed, glomerular filtration, and adequate gastrointestinal protection.


CONCLUSIONS
The degree of compliance to patients rights to information about treatment with analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs is low.
