Safe medicines use is a major health issue for older people. Medicine related harm is a significant factor for older people that leads to hospital admissions even if the medicine is prescribed for a valid evidence based reason. It remains unclear if a severe adverse drug effect that leads to a hospital admission should mean a medicine is stopped or continued. This research will use big data to examine the clinical effects of continuing and withdrawing medicines in older people.

安全用药是老年人的一个主要健康问题。对老年人来说，药物相关的伤害是导致他们住院的一个重要因素，即使药物是基于有效证据的理由开出的。目前尚不清楚严重的药物不良反应导致住院是否意味着停药或继续用药。这项研究将使用大数据来检查老年人继续和停药的临床效果。
