Abstract (english)

Older people usually suffer from multiple diseases and consequently
are prescribed more medications. They are at higher
risk of therapeutic problems due to changes in the organism that occur with
aging. Such changes affect the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of
drugs. Falls and fractures are significant causes of mortality and morbidity in the
elderly. Falls are the result of a complex combination of different risk factors,
including fall-risk increasing drugs. The use of fall-risk increasing drugs increases
with the total number of chronic diseases and drugs, which is characteristic
for older age. Recently, Screening Tool of Older Persons Prescriptions in older
adults with high fall risk, was published, which aim is to identify fall-risk increasing
drugs for potential deprescribing.
