Key Points

  • To evaluate the impact of a family pharmacist system on mortality and hospitalization risks in patients with chronic cardiovascular or endocrine diseases.
  • Conducted a large-scale cohort study
  • Analyzed the effects of FPS on patient outcomes
  • Focused on patients with chronic cardiovascular or endocrine disease
  • FPS was not linked to a lower risk of death or hospitalization overall
  • Hypothesis emerged suggesting FPS use may reduce mortality risk in older patients with chronic conditions

Abstract

This large-scale cohort study found that the use of an FPS was not associated with lower risk of death or hospitalization from any cause. However, the results generated a clinically important hypothesis that FPS use may be associated with slightly lower risk of death among older patients with chronic cardiovascular or endocrine disease.
