Effects of a clinical medication review focused on personal goals quality of life and health problems in older persons with polypharmacy: A randomised controlled trial (DREAMeR-study)

摘要

BackgroundClinical medication reviews (CMRs) are increasingly performed in older persons with multimorbidity and polypharmacy to reduce drug-related problems (DRPs). However, there is limited evidence that a CMR can improve clinical outcomes. Little attention has been paid to patients’ preferences and needs. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a patient-centred CMR, focused on personal goals, on health-related quality of life (HR-QoL), and on number of health problems.
