Study Overview

Brief Summary

The main objective of the study is to show that the multidisciplinary review of drug prescriptions changes the adverse drug event (ADE) geriatric risk score (according to Trivalle and Ducimetière 2013) for patients living in the Nîmes University Hospital Residence for Dependent Elderly.

Detailed Description

The secondary objectives of this study are to assess and compare the following criteria before and after multidisciplinary review of drug prescriptions for patients in the Nîmes University Hospital Residence for Dependent Elderly:

A. the number of patients with at least one potentially inappropriate drug prescribed

B. the number of hospitalizations

C. death rate

D. the number of falls per patient and the rate of fallers
