Each paper was examined for: population studied, inappropriateness criterion (Beers, Drug Utilization Review; Zhan; McLeod; Medication Appropriateness Index, and others), measures of frequency of inappropriate use (proportion of elderly), description of inappropriate medications (drugs or classes of drugs), and factors associated with improper use.
The change in strategy suggested by the 'Increase bait density' option proved to be futile and thus inappropriate because the proportion of fox groups not reached by the flight pattern remains constant.
However, this should not directly influence the proportion of inappropriate and pharmacist-preventable inappropriate ciprofloxacin IV treatment doses.
Our results showed a 23% relative reduction in the proportion of inappropriate ciprofloxacin IV doses and a 32% relative reduction in the incidence of pharmacist-preventable inappropriate ciprofloxacin IV doses subsequent to the intervention.
Although the proportion of inappropriate examinations was not high; financial issues and the growing number of patients referred for MRI are of concern.
This study aimed to determine whether implementing alerts at the time of ordering medication integrated into the computerized physician order entry decreases the proportion of inappropriate prescriptions based on the renal function of inpatients.
Waiting lists, the proportion of inappropriate stays and admissions, or absence of real mechanisms that enable to discriminate the severe cases from the banal in patients on the waiting list are situations that illustrate the above.
Among patients with ID consultations, the proportion of inappropriate prescriptions was 16.5%, indicating a significantly lower rate than among patients without ID consultation.
We preferred to report our results as proportion of inappropriate prescriptions (and not as proportion of patients) because 41.6% of our patients had more than one concurrent prescription at the time of evaluation.
The primary outcome measure will be the proportion of inappropriate antibiotic prescription in each group.
