Risk factors of iatrogenic disease in the elderly are drug-induced iatrogenic disease, multiple chronic diseases, multiple physicians, hospitalization, and medical or surgical procedures. Iatrogenic disease can have a great psychomotor impact and important social consequences. To identify patients at high risk is the first step in prevention as most of the iatrogenic diseases are preventable. Interventions that can prevent iatrogenic complications include specific interventions, the use of a geriatric interdisciplinary team, pharmacist consultation and acute care for the elderly units.Keywords: iatrogenic disease, elderly, risk factors, preventionSompol PermpongkosolDove Medical PressarticleIatrogenic diseaseElderlyRiskPreventionGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 6, Pp 77-82 (2011)
