Drug-related hospitalizations pose a significant burden to the health-care system. The aim
was to investigate the prevalence of drug-related problems (DRPs) and their association with hospital
admissions in five internal medicine wards. The study included patients admitted to the nephrology,
cardiology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, and geriatric wards. The Pharmaceutical Care Network
Europe classification V9.1 was used for identifying DRPs. In total, 535 patients participated in the study.
We identified 954 DRPs (range 1-7) in 80.7% of patients. Most DRPs were identified on the endocrinology,
cardiology, and geriatric wards, and they were associated with the efficacy of treatment (71.4%), adverse
drug events (10.2%), and unnecessary drug treatment (18.4%). DRPs were associated with the cause of
hospitalization in 74.4% of patients on the nephrology ward, 60.1% and 60.6% of patients on the cardiology
and endocrinology wards, respectively, whereas this number was lower on th...e geriatric and gastroenterology
wards (26.9% and 8.9%, respectively). Suboptimal drug treatment due to medication omissions was often
associated with the potential cause of hospital admission. Focusing on patients with specific diseases and
DRPs, rather than reducing the number of medications in primary care, may be potentially rational in an
attempt to reduce drug-related hospitalizations.
