Medication-related problems and contributing factors in patients with cardiovascular disorders in Ethiopia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of mortality and disability globally. In Ethiopia, the management of CVDs faces significant challenges, particularly in addressing medication-related problems (MRPs). This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to assess the prevalence of MRPs among CVD patients in Ethiopia.

Methods

The review followed the PRISMA guidelines and was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42024501087). A comprehensive search was conducted across databases including PubMed, Hinari, Embase, and Scopus. Studies were included if they focused on the prevalence of MRPs among Ethiopian CVD patients, were observational in design, and were published in English. Quality assessment was performed using the JBI critical appraisal checklist. D
