Abstract

PURPOSE: The medication regimen complexity intensive care unit (MRC-ICU) score has previously been associated with pharmacist workload and fluid overload. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of MRC-ICU score with pharmacist-driven fluid stewardship recommendations as a means of establishing its role in risk stratifying critically ill patients for pharmacist intervention.
