Content validation of a tool for assessing risks for drug-related problems to be used by practical nurses caring for home-dwelling clients aged ≥65 years: a Delphi survey.
Article in European journal of clinical pharmacology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02545257 (Development of a Coordinated, Community-Based Medication Management Model for Home-Dwelling Aged in Primary Care), which is not on this map. Cited by 19 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Abstract
purposeHome care services are becoming a critically important part of health care delivery as populations are aging. Those using home care services are increasingly older, more frail than previously, and use multiple medications, making them vulnerable to drug-related problems (DRPs). Practical nurses (PN) visit home-dwelling aged clients frequently and, thus, are ideally situated to identify potential DRPs and, if needed, to communicate them to physicians for resolution. This study developed and validated the content of a tool to be used by PNs for assessing DRP risks for their home-dwelling clients aged ≥65 years.
methodsThe first draft of the tool was based on two systematic literature reviews and clinical experience of our research group. Content validity of the tool was determined by a three-round Delphi survey with a panel of 18 experts in geriatric care and pharmacotherapy. An agreement by ≥80% of the panel on an item was required.
resultsThe final tool consists of 18 items that assess risks for DRPs in home-dwelling aged clients. It is divided into four sections: (1) Basic Client Data, (2) Potential Risks for DRPs in Medication Use, (3) Characteristics of the Client's Care and Adherence, and (4) Recommendations for Actions to Resolve DRPs.
conclusionsThe Delphi process resulted in a structured DRP Risk Assessment Tool that is focused on the highest priority DRPs that should be identified and resolved. The tool also assists the PNs to identify solutions to these problems, which is a unique feature compared to similarly purposed prior tools.
