Deprescribing is considered one of the main strategies available for preparing an individualized therapeutic plan in patients with multiple pathologies or complex chronic conditions. However, despite the practice has been in place for some years, there is a need for studies that support the achievement of satisfactory health outcomes, as well as tools that help implement deprescribing in routine clinical practice.
The objective of this project is to analyze the impact of reducing polypharmacy, through the LESS-CHRON deprescribing tool, on a population of elderly polymedicated patients with multiple conditions.
