Journal ArticleDOI

Drug-drug interactions in a geriatric outpatient cohort: prevalence and relevance.

TL;DR: In this study, nearly half of the geriatric outpatients attending a diagnostic day clinic who were taking more than one drug were candidates for DDIs and the potential interactions resulting in possible ADRs or diminished effectiveness were not present in the ‘Top Ten’ interactions described by a national database of public pharmacies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reasons for undertreatment with oral anticoagulants in frail geriatric outpatients with atrial fibrillation: a prospective, descriptive study.

TL;DR: Applying the NHG standard for appropriate prescription, and disregarding age as a risk factor or contraindication, in this population, 14 of 141 patients were inappropriately prescribed OAC, salicylates or no prophylaxis, while only patient age was associated with not prescribing OAC.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effects of fall-risk-increasing drugs on postural control: a literature review.

TL;DR: It can be concluded that psychotropic drugs cause impairments in postural control, which is probably one of the mediating factors for the increased fall risk these FRIDs are associated with.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amyloid beta protein and tau in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma as biomarkers for dementia: a review of recent literature.

TL;DR: Progress has been made regarding Abeta and tau as biomarkers for dementia, both for differentiation between stable MCI and progressive MCI patients and for the differential diagnosis of AD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discrepancies in reported drug use in geriatric outpatients: relevance to adverse events and drug-drug interactions.

TL;DR: Geriatricians should assume that the medication lists supplied by GPs are incomplete or incorrect, and be aware that in approximately 25% of patients, symptoms may be caused by medication use inaccurately described in the referral.
