Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study follows patients aged 65 and older with one or more chronic diseases to see how polypharmacy relates to their prognosis over two years. Participants at Xijing Hospital will complete periodic online surveys about their medications, symptoms, and health events. No experimental treatments are given; researchers will analyze survey data to link medication burden with outcomes such as hospitalization, disease progression, or mortality. The goal is to identify medication patterns associated with poorer prognosis and inform safer prescribing for older adults.
