Different risk-increasing drugs in recurrent versus single fallers: Are recurrent fallers a distinct population?
2013
Background
Polypharmacy, and specifically the use of multiple fall-risk-increasing drugs (FRID), have been associated with increased risk of falling in older age. However, it is not yet clear whether the known set of FRIDs can be extrapolated to recurrent fallers, since they form a distinct group of more vulnerable older persons with different characteristics.
