Drug-related problems in elderly patients with AECOPD and pharmaceutical intervention practice: a prospective study
The incidence of DRPs is high in elderly hospitalized patients with AECOPD in China. The number of comorbidities and prescription drugs are important predictors for DRPs. The active involvement of clinical pharmacists in the management of AECOPD patients can enhance both the safe and effective use of medications among elderly patients, as well as the overall quality of pharmaceutical care.
