    The document summarizes two studies on the clinical and economic outcomes of pharmacist interventions in parenteral nutrition programs and hospital inpatients. The first study found that 402 pharmacist interventions in Saudi Arabia decreased length of stay by 60.27% and drug therapy monitoring by 21.07%, while improving laboratory values by 45.33% and patient status by 36.53%. The second study reviewed 20 economic evaluations of clinical pharmacy services for hospital inpatients from 2008-2012 and found that only 3 studies were of "good quality", with interventions such as reducing antifungal costs by 50% in intensive care units. Both studies were limited by a lack of detailed quantitative data and missing key elements of economic evaluations.

    comparator in the form of a randomized controlled trial (19) and 1 study was a
