Developing strategies for predicting hyperkalemia in potassium-increasing drug-drug interactions

Conclusion Continuous monitoring of the risk for hyperkalemia based on current potassium level shows a better predictive power than predictions triggered at the onset of DDI. This contrasts with efforts to improve DDI alerts by taking into account more patient parameters at the time of ordering.
