Linda Aagaard Thomsen(2007), Measured that Cochrane database of systematic reviews, medication error, adverse drug reaction, iatrogenic disease, outpatient , ambulatory, care, primary healthcare, general practice, patient admission, hospitalization, observational study, retrospective studies, health services research, and follow-up studies. Yahaya Hassan(2009) Reported that appropriate drug selected and dosing for patients with chronic kidney disease is important to avoid unwanted drug effects and ensure optimal patient outcomes.
