Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Older adults admitted to an intermediate care hospital receive a comprehensive geriatric assessment and a structured medication review focused on their goals and clinical characteristics. The multidisciplinary intervention is delivered by geriatricians, clinical pharmacists, and nurses and is compared with the usual medication revision performed by a clinical pharmacist alone. Participants complete questionnaires about their health status and attitudes, and any medication-related adverse events are recorded. The main outcome is change in treatment adequacy, including the average number of medications per patient.
