Prevention of Adverse Drug Reactions in Hospitalised Older Patients Using a Software-Supported Structured Pharmacist Intervention: A Cluster Randomised Controlled Trial

摘要

Background Proven interventions to reduce adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in older hospitalised patients are lacking. Previous randomised controlled trial (RCT) data indicate that a structured pharmacist review of medication (SPRM) can reduce inappropriate prescribing in older hospitalised patients. However, no RCT data show that an SPRM reduces ADRs in this population.
