Types, predictors, and consequences of medicines related problems (MRPs) in frail older adults admitted to hospital from primary care - A retrospective cohort study.

Introduction: Medicines related problems (MRPs) can be common in frail older people due to age-compromised body systems and a propensity to be on multiple drugs concurrently. This group of people can also succumb to a rapid deterioration in health. Thus, it is important to investigate MRPs in frail older people.

Medicines Related Problems (MRPs) Originating in Primary Care Settings in Older Adults - A Systematic Review.

Background: As people age, they become increasingly vulnerable to the untoward effects of medicines due to changes in body systems. These may result in medicines related problems (MRPs) and consequent decline or deterioration in health.

Aim: To identify MRPs, indicators of deterioration associated with these MRPs, and preventative interventions from the literature.
