Summary

This study tested whether adding a pharmacist to a mobile geriatric team could reduce potentially inappropriate prescriptions in hospitalized patients aged 75 and older. The pharmacist reviewed each patient's medications and gave feedback to the geriatrician and attending doctor. The goal was to see if this approach lowers the number of risky prescriptions at discharge and three months later.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
pharmacist-led medication review
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that adding a pharmacist to a geriatric team helps reduce risky medications in older hospital patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study without a control group, so results may not prove cause and effect or apply to all hospitals.
