Adverse Drug Events in Cognitively Impaired Elderly: A Multifaceted Challenge

Adverse drug events (ADEs) are a significant concern in the elderly population, especially those with cognitive impairment. This study investigates the factors influencing ADEs in cognitively impaired elderly patients. The research found that higher age and greater cognitive impairment increased the risk of ADEs, while the use of natural health products (NHPs) decreased the risk. This study highlights the importance of careful medication management in this vulnerable population.
