Conclusions: Most of the disabled older women in this study took â¥5 medications at baseline, potentially putting them at high risk for ADEs. Those with multimorbidity, frailty, CHF, angina, DM, COPD, cancer, and difficulty with instrumental activities of daily living are target subpopulations for polypharmacy intervention.
