An observational study of changes to long-term medication after admission to an intensive care unit.
Campbell AJ, Bloomfield R, Noble DW. An observational study of changes to long-term medication after admission to an intensive care unit. Anaesthesia. 2006;61(11):1087-92.
This study found that nearly 20% of patients had their outpatient medications discontinued at the time of intensive care unit admission and not restarted at hospital discharge, without adequate documentation of a clinical indication. These findings are similar to those of a prior study.
