The Extent of Medication-Related Hospital Admissions in Australia: A Review from 1988 to 2021

Renly Lim et al.

Summary: Medication-related problems often lead to patient harm. This paper reviews the Australian literature to determine the incidence, severity, and preventability of medication-related hospital admissions. The study estimates that at least 250,000 hospital admissions annually in Australia are medication related, with a cost of AUD$1.4 billion to the healthcare system. Two-thirds of these admissions are potentially preventable.

Understanding the factors influencing prescriber uptake of pharmacist recommendations in secondary care

Anthea Gregan et al.

Summary: This study aims to understand how prescribers view pharmacist contributions and the factors that facilitate or hinder acceptance of pharmacist recommendations within a hospital setting. The results show that prescribers highly value dosing advice and information on medication interactions. Several barriers were identified in a busy clinical setting, including communication method, differing priorities, pharmacist presence at the time of decision making, and consultant led decision-making hierarchy.

Deprescribing fall-risk increasing drugs (FRIDs) for the prevention of falls and fall-related complications: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Justin Lee et al.

Summary: The systematic review and meta-analysis did not find significant evidence to support that deprescribing fall-risk increasing drugs (FRIDs) is effective in preventing falls or fall-related injuries in older adults. More high-quality studies are needed to further investigate the efficacy of this strategy.

Pharmacist-led interventions to reduce adverse drug events in older people living in residential aged care facilities: A systematic review

Sheraz Ali et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate pharmacist-led interventions to reduce adverse drug events (ADEs) in older people living in residential aged care facilities (RACFs). Results showed that pharmacist-led interventions have the potential to reduce the incidence of ADEs in RACFs, with medication review and educational programmes being common approaches. However, many studies did not find a positive association between interventions and ADEs, suggesting a need for targeted and tailored pharmacist-led interventions to reduce ADEs in older people in RACFs.
