Introduction: Medication errors occur at any point of the medication management process and are a major cause of death and harm globally. The perioperative environment introduces challenges in identifying medication errors due to the frequent use of time-sensitive, high-alert medications in a dynamic and intricate setting. Pharmacists could potentially reduce the occurrence of these errors because of their training and expertise.

Prevention and early intervention can reduce the likelihood of future problems, but requires valid and reliable screening tools capable of assessing risk across a range of substances. This study assessed the validity, reliability, and clinical utility of the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST-Y) for adolescents aged 15-17 years.

Efforts to reduce preventable medication-related harm through medication reviews have increased, but interventions often yield null-results regarding clinical outcomes. We conducted a systematic literature search in four data bases and summarised the available evidence from randomised controlled trials (RCTs) comparing medication reviews and usual care in hospitalised patients regarding hospital readmissions and all-cause mortality by random-effects meta-analyses. Effect size differences by methodological study differences were of special interest.
