title: The influence of a hospital drug committee's recommendations on the use of analgesics as evaluated by drug-use data.
abstract: Drug-use data in a large university hospital have been used as a means for evaluating the influence of the recommendations given by a drug committee on the use of analgesics. The results generally show a reasonable adherence to the recommendations in the hospital. A selected clinic, the Department of Oncology, where special efforts were directed, showed particularly close adherence to the guidelines given.
