No results posted yet for this study

Summary

French population grows older year after year: 24.3% people were over 60 years old in 2006 against 20.6% in 2000 and the expected number might be over 33% in 2050.

The elderly suffer from lots of illnesses, so they usually take lots of drugs. Therefore, this drug use is most likely to have adverse drug reactions.

Finally, according to Health Ministry, the number of emergency department consultations doubled from 1996 to 2016.

Consequently, it is interesting to study the impact of drug iatrogenic effects on emergency consultations.

It would help to prevent these adverse drug reactions as we prescribe those drugs : First, do not harm.
