Clinical pharmacist interventions in managing drug-related problems in hospitalized patients with neurological diseases.

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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background Drug-related problems (DRPs) are common in hospitalized patients with neurological diseases. Clinical pharmacy services could minimize drug-related harm and improve patient care. Objective To identify common DRPs in neurology and document clinical pharmacists' medication-related interventions. Setting The wards and intensive care unit of the Department of Neurology at Assiut University Hospital. Method Prospective study of clinical pharmacists' interventions during the routine care work of reviewing patients medical charts over a period of 6 months from January to June 2017. Main outcome measure The frequency and severity of DRPs and clinical pharmacists' recommendations. Results Out of 1421 reviewed medications charts, a total of 414 DRPs were detected for 285 admitted patients. The most common DRPs were drug selection problems (36.7%) and dosing errors (27.5%). The majority of DRPs (71.7%) were categorized as causing no patient harm. Clinical pharmacists provided recommendations for the detected problems that ranged from drug monitoring to stop and starting new medicines. About 90% of pharmacists' interventions were accepted by physicians. Poisson regression of factors that may influence the frequency of DRPs revealed significant associations of patient age (p = 0.03) and the number of comorbid diseases (p = 0.01). Conclusions Prescribing errors in neurology inpatient are likely to occur. Clinical pharmacists' interventions assisted in early detection of drug problems and prevention of the consequent patient harms.
