METHODS：Retrieved from PubMed， Embase， Cochrane Library， CNKI， VIP， Wanfang database， CBM，and simultaneously searched Google and Baidu， retrieve time from the database establishment to March 2019， Chinese retrieval words： “medication therapy management”， English retrieval words： “Medication therapy management” “Management”“Medication therapy”“Therapy management”“Medication”“Drug therapy management”， etc. Domestic and foreign MTM literatures were included. Descriptive analysis was conducted in terms of literature publication， research type distribution， disease distribution and the status quo of MTM literatures in women and children. The necessity and feasibility of MTM in the field of women and children were analyzed. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS： A total of 403 MTM related literatures （344 foreign， 59 domestic） were included. Among them， the foreign MTM literatures had 154 secondary researches and 190 original studies， clinical value， economic value and humanistic value of MTM were studied in repsects of service providers， service objects， service processes， service effects and other parties. Domestic MTM literatures had 37 secondary researches and 22 original researches， which mainly introduced the US MTM， including implementation background， concept， elements， application status， etc.； the significance and prospects of MTM in China were analyzed. Domestic and foreign MTM literatures mostly focused on chronic diseases in the elderly， mainly endocrine and cardiovascular diseases， such as hypertension， diabetes， and kidney disease. 11 studies about women and children MTM were included （women 5 studies and children 6 studies）； 4 of them were review， 5 were cross-sectional studies， and 2 were case reports. The effects of women and children MTM were introduced in the included literatures from the times of interventions， the number of drug-related problems prevention or improvement， the patient’s clinical outcomes， etc. MTM studies have great differences between at home and aboard in terms of the number of literatures， research types and contents. The researches focus on the field of chronic diseases in the elderly， and there is little literature on MTM in the field of women and children. It is necessary to provide MTM services for women and children in the light of the Millennium Development Goals proposed by the United Nations and the increasing problem of women and children medication. It is suggested to use the MTM model to develop women and children chronic disease pharmaceutical service so as to promote the transformation of pharmacists and improve the quality of pharmaceutical care.
