NCT ID NCT06903572
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether having a clinical pharmacist review medications when a patient moves to the intensive care unit (ICU) reduces mistakes. Researchers tracked 126 patients transferred to the ICU at Alexandria Main University Hospital. The pharmacist checked each patient's drug history, treatment plan, and any discrepancies. The goal was to see if pharmacist reviews led to more accurate prescriptions compared to standard care.
