The most common non-adherent behavior was"forgetting to take the medication." In the multivariate analysis, polymorbidity (p=0.001) and polypharmacy (p=0.016) were risk factors for potentially inappropriate drug use. The only risk factorfor medical non-adherence was "not knowing most of the side effects of the drug" (p=0.018).Conclusion: In this study, lower prevalence rates than those for most previous studies werefound for both potentially inappropriate drug use and medical non-adherence. Since polymorbidity and polypharmacy were risk factors for potentially inappropriate drug use, physicians shouldbe cautious in the selection of drugs for elderly patients with polymorbidity "> [PDF] EVALUATION OF POTENTIALLY INAPPROPRIATE DRUG USE AND MEDICAL NON-ADHERENCE IN A COMMUNITY-DWELLING ELDERLY POPULATION: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY | [PDF] TOPLUMDA YAŞLILARDA UYGUNSUZ İLAÇ KULLANMA OLASILIĞI VE İLAÇ UYUMSUZLUĞUNUN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ, KESİTSEL BİR ÇALIŞMA 0.125 mg/day) were the most common drugs that were used inappropriately.
