Abstract: The aim of this controlled, before-and-after study in the Department of Psychiatry in a university hospital in Denmark
was to examine the potential effects and characteristics of nurses reviewing psychiatric patients’ medication records to identify
potentially inappropriate prescriptions (PIPs). The control group and the intervention group each consisted of two bed units cho-
sen based on patients’ diagnoses and age categories. There were 396 patients (age ≥18 years) included in the study. Senior clini-
cal pharmacology physicians performed medication reviews for all patients in the study; these medication reviews were
considered gold standard. The intervention group: nurses were given a pharmacology course after which the nurses reviewed
medication lists and subsequently conferred any identified PIPs with physicians. The control group: medication was reviewed as
usual and nurses did not participate. Primary outcome measure was the potential difference in PIPs between the control group
and the intervention group, analysed in two ways: (i) difference in mean number of PIPs and (ii) difference in number of patients
exposed to ≥1 PIP, using regression analysis with an approximated difference-in-difference (DID) approach. Secondary outcome
measure was characteristics of PIPs where physicians responded to nurse-identified PIPs. The DID between intervention group
and control group for mean number of PIPs per patient was �0.23 (�1.07 to 0.60), and for number of patients receiving ≥1 PIP,
the odds ratio was 0.61 (0.25 to 1.46). Physicians changed most prescriptions in the category interaction between drugs. Nurses
could not significantly reduce the prevalence of PIPs for psychiatric patients.
Potentially inappropriate prescriptions (PIPs) are common and
significant in older patients [1,2] and present a specific chal-
lenge in psychiatry [3–6]. There appears to be limited research
on PIP in general psychiatric populations that include younger
patients. However, a Danish study estimated the prevalence of
PIPs in newly admitted psychiatric patients to affect 59% of
