Book Description
The use of medications and multiple medications becomes more prevalent with increasing age. This pilot study explored the relationship between poly-pharmacy and driving functioning through separate but related research activities. A patient-level administrative claims database containing prescription information as well as E-codes identifying the incidence of motor vehicle injuries was mined, yielding combinations of drugs that became inclusion criteria in a following field study of driver performance among 44 older adults (range: 57 to 89; mean: 79). The relationship between medication usage and each of these outcome measures was examined in descriptive data summaries and regression analyses. Illus. A print on demand report.
