Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the overdose rates of drugs needing renal adjustments and identify contributing factors.
- A large dataset of over 23 million inpatient records from a hospital was analyzed, revealing that 5.3% of prescribed drug doses were excessive, particularly in patients with moderate to severe kidney issues (28.2% overdose rate).
- The analysis found that a small percentage of physicians were responsible for a majority of overdoses, with certain drugs accounting for the bulk of these incidents. Factors like physician experience, prescription workload, and patient renal function were all linked to variations in overdose rates.
