Objective: One potential strategy to address inadequate screening for somatic comorbidities among patients with mental disorders is to integrate a clinical pharmacist into the inpatient team for daily interdisciplinary ward rounds. This approach remains under-researched in psychiatric hospitals. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a clinical pharmacist on drug-related problems (DRPs) during daily ward rounds within an interdisciplinary team in a psychiatric hospital.

Medication reconciliation, provided by various healthcare specialists, could help reduce these errors. However, clinical pharmacists do not lead this service nationally in most countries.

- Estimates of ADHD prevalence vary widely due to differences in study methods, such as diagnostic criteria and information sources.
- A review of 117 studies identified that ADHD prevalence was reported at 1.6% in register studies, 5.0% in survey studies, and around 4.2-4.8% in clinical studies.
- The study concludes that accurate comparisons of ADHD prevalence across different studies must account for methodological variations to avoid misinterpretations.
Introduction: Previous research has raised concerns about high prevalence of drug-related problems, polypharmacy and inappropriate benzodiazepine prescribing in nursing homes (NHs) and confirmed lack of studies from Central and South-Eastern Europe. The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence and characteristics of polypharmacy, hyperpolypharmacy and inappropriate benzodiazepine prescribing in NH residents in Croatia.
Methods: Data from 226 older NH residents from five Croatian NHs were collected using the InterRAI Long-Term Care Facilities assessment form.
