Comparison of Medication-Related Fall Risk in Hospitalized Adults and Older People

The proposed study aims to verify whether drugs, drug classes, and polypharmacy related to the occurrence of falls are the same for hospitalized adults and older people. The present protocol was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) (ID: CRD42020208624). The search for articles will be carried out in PubMed, Embase, and in Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (Lilacs) databases. If quantitative analysis is not possible, a synthesis of the present information will be carried out.
