Development and validation of PART (Pharmacotherapy Assessment in Renal Transplant Patients) criteria to assess drug-related problems in an outpatient renal transplant population: A cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT: Kidney transplant recipients are at risk of pharmacological interactions and adverse drug reactions. Community pharmacists are uniquely poised to detect and intervene in cases of drug-related problems. The aims of this study were to develop and validate a list of explicit criteria to be used by community pharmacists to assess drug-related problems in kidney transplant patients, and to assess their frequency and their determinants. First, we used a modified RAND method where a panel of experts established the PART (Pharmacotherapy Assessment in Renal Transplant Patient) criteria. Then, we performed a cross-sectional study in which we applied the PART criteria to 97 prevalent kidney transplant recipients followed at a single university-affiliated center. The final list of PART criteria inclu
