摘要：
The risks of iatrogenic medication related adverse events are high among older patients. Assessing prescriptions is critical to prevent overusing, underusing, or misusing medications. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prescription reassessment in older patients hospitalized in long-term care unit. Among the 30 patients (M-age = 83 years, woman 66%), polymedication was present, patients taking 5 to 18 drugs (mean 11 drugs). The length of stay varied from 92 days to 4.5 years (mean 564 +/- 430 days). The prescription reassessment of the patients hospitalized in our long-term care unit varied from 1 to 125 days with a mean of 16 days. Plan the prescription reassessment could reduce the iatrogenic medication in weakened patients.
