摘要: Background Adverse drug events (ADEs) represent an important problem for hospital and primary care. Software that detects potential adverse interactions has been widely implemented in effort to reduce the rate of ADEs. However, impact interaction detection software (DIS) on patient safety outcomes remains unknown. Objectives To systematically review literature DIS preventing determine effectiveness cost-effectiveness DIS. Methods A search MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, IPA Healthstar, using terms “Computer, or Decision Support” combined with “Drug Interactions, Drug Errors Monitoring” sought English language, post-1990 prospective studies examined (drug-drug) as intervention outcome. Relevant were analyzed a Bayesian meta-analysis approach. Results Of 5848 citations, only four met our inclusion criteria. Most excluded not measured prescriber attitudes, implementation success changes workflow. No study exclusively, rather component decision support software. these showed no significant difference event between control groups (relative risk 0.66, 95% CI 0.33 1.18). The posterior median Isquared was 52%.
