Medication review in hospitalised patients to reduce morbidity and mortality

Severity and Management of Drug–Drug Interactions in Acute Geriatric Patients

“…This endpoint was either not investigated (139), or no effect was seen (124), in the previous studies on similar interventions. The results of our study are in contrast to the recent Cochrane review concluding that "medication review does not seem to prevent death and hospital readmissions" (138). This might be explained by the inclusion of a high-risk patient population and long-term follow-up in the present study, which probably contributes to the intervention`s effect on mortality.…”

Medication reviews for nursing home residents to reduce mortality and hospitalization: systematic review and meta‐analysis

“…that medication reviews do not have any beneficial effects on mortality and hospitalization , is valid also in the nursing home setting. Furthermore, the results are in agreement with the recently published Cochrane reviews on medication reviews in hospitalized patients and interventions for optimized prescribing in older people in care homes .…”

Effects of hospital pharmacist interventions on health outcomes in older polymedicated inpatients: a scoping review

“…We found no evidence that any pharmacist intervention reduces mortality at any time point. These results were also found in other studies [8,9,25,60]. This may be related to the high complexity of the patients studied, often with limited life expectancies, where the aim of care is usually to preserve or improve QoL or maintain function.…”
