Elderly patients are at high risk of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-2019) infection and severe COVID-19 treated in intensive care units (ICU). Drug-drug interaction increased to 100% with eight or more medication use. Comorbidities both elderly ICU leading polypharmacy a higher for drug-drug interactions. Also, the organ dysfunctions due may alter pharmacokinetics drugs which influence severity drug The severity, mechanisms, onset action clinical significance interactions vary. Detailed...

Critically ill neonates are at greater risk for adverse drug reactions (ADRs). The differentiation of ADRs from associated with organ dysfunction/immaturity or genetic variability is difficult.In this prospective cohort study, each ADR was assessed using newborn-specific severity and probability scales by the clinical pharmacist. Subsequently, a machine learning-based score designed to predict presence in neonates.In 98/412 (23.8%) (56.3%; male) included, 187 (0.42 ADR/patient) were...
