Medication therapy management (MTM) service is an effective method to reduce medication-related problems and improve patients' multiple kinds of outcomes. However, the lack of comprehensive review for MTM services has hindered its development. As a result, we are aiming to evaluate the current benefits of MTM services with multiple outcomes.An electronic search will be performed for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or non-randomized control trials (NRCTs) that reported MTM services or pharmaceutical services as interventions from PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Embase, and ClinicalTrial. gov. The odds ratios, mean differences, and standard mean differences and their 95% confidence intervals (95% confidence intervals) will be calculated with fixed or random effect models.This study will evaluate the multiple benefits of MTM services in clinical endpoints, quality of life, economy, and drug-related problems.The results will review eligible studies released in the past twenty years and provide more comprehensive evidence of the efficacy of MTM services.Ethical approval is not applicable for this study. |
