Inpatient Drug Utilization in Europe: Nationwide Data Sources and a Review of Publications on a Selected Group of Medicines ( PROTECT Project)
Abstract Drug utilization ( DU ) studies in inpatient settings at a national level are rarely conducted. The main objective of this study was to review the general information on hospital medicine management in Europe and to report on the availability and characteristics of nationwide administrative...

General information on hospital drug management was retrieved from several websites, nationwide administrative drug consumption databases and reports published by governmental organizations.
