What is Predictors of Recall of Over-the-counter and Prescription Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug Exposure about?

## Abstract ## Purpose Because of the difficulty in establishing a gold standard, data on accuracy of recall of over‐the‐counter (OTC) medication use are sparse. ## Methods We studied a cohort of 1889 persons living in the Philadelphia area to assess recall of non‐aspirin non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory drug (NANSAID) use during the preceding 8 weeks. Our analyses were based on the assumption that among the group of subjects, on average, the reported usage of NANSAIDs should not vary over the previous 8 weeks. To model the effect of time on reported usage while allowing for the inherent correlation of responses within subjects over time, we employed alternating logistic regression. ## Results We documented a significant decline in reported use of OTC NANSAIDs but not prescription NANSAIDs during the 8‐week study period (__p__ = 0.3 for frequent prescription NANSAIDs, __p__ = 0.2 for infrequent prescription NANSAIDs, __p__ < 0.001 for frequent OTC NANSAIDs, and __p__ < 0.001 for infrequent OTC NANSAIDs). Reported rates of frequent and infrequent OTC NANSAID consumption declined from 6.3 to 4.6% and from 17.1 to 12.8% between the most recent week and eight weeks prior, respectively.
