Journal ArticleDOI
Epidemiology of multimorbidity and implications for health care, research, and medical education: a cross-sectional study
TL;DR: The findings challenge the single-disease framework by which most health care, medical research, and medical education is configured, and a complementary strategy is needed, supporting generalist clinicians to provide personalised, comprehensive continuity of care, especially in socioeconomically deprived areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
High risk prescribing in primary care patients particularly vulnerable to adverse drug events: cross sectional population database analysis in Scottish general practice
TL;DR: The prevalence and patterns of high risk prescribing, defined as potentially inappropriate prescribing of drugs to primary care patients particularly vulnerable to adverse drug events, were examined in general practices in Scotland.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and outcomes of use of potentially inappropriate medicines in older people: cohort study stratified by residence in nursing home or in the community
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare the prevalence of use of potentially inappropriate medicines (PIMs) between older patients living in their own homes versus those living in nursing or residential homes, and test the association between exposure to PIMs and mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
