Summary

Purpose:

This study aims to validate the medication entries in the PRISCUS list-a German expert-based compilation of potentially inappropriate medications for older adults-and to identify additional medications that may pose a fall risk but are not yet included.

Study Design:

This is a retrospective observational study uses electronic health record data from a German research hospital. It includes over 900,000 patient records from multiple departments with a high incidence of falls, covering the period from 2016 to 2022. Statistical analyses, including chi-square tests and propensity score matching, will be employed to evaluate the relationship between medications and fall events.
