- Registration Number
- NCT03686943
- Lead Sponsor
- University Hospital, Tours
- Brief Summary
Many hospitalizations or emergency room visits are due to problems of iatrogenic medication, especially in elderly patients who are very often polymedicated. Moreover, they are more at risk because of fragility. This has an important socio-economic impact. It therefore seems important to act upstream of these adverse events and a review of the drugs available in the homes of elderly patients seems a good starting point.
