The article “Medication Reconciliation of Patients by Pharmacist at the Time of Admission and Discharge from Adult Nephrology Wards” offers valuable insights into the role of pharmacists in reducing medication discrepancies. However, several critical issues warrant scrutiny. The methodology, particularly the reliance on a retroactive BPMH model and convenience sampling, undermines the robustness of the study. Claims regarding the effectiveness of pharmacists in reducing errors appear inadequately supported by the data and rely on selective referencing, with some sources being outdated or misrepresented. Statistical analysis often lacks clarity, with significant p-values presented without corresponding effect sizes, raising questions about the practical significance of findings. Furthermore, the omission of error severity assessments limits the clinical relevance of the study. The data transparency and restrictions on access further hinder independent verification. While the study makes a meaningful contribution to understanding medication reconciliation, addressing these methodological weaknesses, ensuring accurate representation of sources, and clarifying potential biases would substantially enhance its scientific rigor and credibility.
