Clinical frailty and polypharmacy in older emergency critical care patients: a single-centre retrospective case series

Study (n=762) found polypharmacy (PP; 5–9 meds) and hyperPP (≥10) occurred in 80.7% & 43.2% of patients, respectively, with a significant association between degree of PP and frailty score (p<0.001). Also medication changes on care transitions often lacked detailed documentation.
