| Popis: | Background Interventions made by clinical pharmacists have shown to reduce the frequency of drug-related problems. Purpose To describe all Pharmaceutical Interventions performed, assessing the type, medical units involved and the pharmacotherapeutic group of the drugs. Material and methods A retrospective observational study of the pharmaceutical interventions was performed in a tertiary care hospital with 590 beds between January 2009 and September 2014. The medical records were consulted to obtain this data. Results 11.985 interventions were performed during the study period in 5 major therapeutic classes: antibacterial (64.66%), gastrointestinal drugs (23.01%), blood formation and coagulation (4.64%), dietary supplements (2.79%) and hormones (2.62%). There were 23 different types of pharmaceutical interventions, the more frequent were: 38.33% related to restricted antibiotic justification, 23.63% sequential treatment, 7.54% treatment duration, 4.04% underdosing, 2.32% therapeutic duplication. The most frequent medical units involved were: Internal medicine (30.5%), pneumology (12.58%) and surgery (11.23%). Conclusion This study shows the importance of Pharmaceutical interventions detecting potential drug interactions and drug-related problems in order to optimise the pharmacotherapeutic treatment. A clinical pharmacist optimises pharmacotherapy for all patients, improves treatment efficacy and safety. References and/or Acknowledgements Dr. Cotrina No conflict of interest. |
