https://doi.org/10.25789/YMJ.2020.70.09

Abstract

A retrospective analysis of medical records of 100 patients aged 59 years and older, who were on treatment at the Geriatric Center of the Republican Hospital №3, was done. The study examined the relationship between STOP/START compliance rates, the state of polypharmacy, compliance with treatment standards and protocols, and the risk of falling in elderly and senile patients.
