Prospective evaluation of medication-related problems and pharmacist interventions in liver transplant recipients

To our knowledge, this is the first and most comprehensive study applying the PCNE v.9.1 method to liver transplant recipients hospitalized in both ward and intensive care unit settings. The most prevalent MRPs were related to "treatment effectiveness," primarily caused by "dose selection" and "drug selection." Clinical pharmacists and physicians should particularly focus on these aspects when reviewing transplant patients' medication regimens. The results achieved in this study suggest that clinicians should exercise caution when prescribing new medications to transplant recipients with at least one comorbidity and a history of acute kidney injury.
