Study description

Falls in older adults are associated with significant health outcomes, including hospitalization and increased mortality. Inappropriate prescribing, particularly in populations with multimorbidity and polypharmacy, is a recognized risk factor for falls. The prevalence of potentially inappropriate prescriptions, as outlined in Section K of the STOPP criteria, among individuals with recurrent falls remains uncertain across Europe.
