Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Randomized controlled trial of an intervention to improve drug appropriateness in community-dwelling polymedicated elderly people.
Polypharmacy is frequent in the elderly population and is associated with potentially drug inappropriateness and drug-related problems. ⋯ The study intervention was safe, reduced potentially inappropriate medication, but did not reduce emergency visits and hospitalizations in polymedicated elderly people.
