We would like to share with you an article recently published in PLOS ONE [1] by our research group, EpiChron. The study demonstrates the existence of non-random associations in drug prescription, resulting in patterns of polypharmacy that exist in a significant proportion of the population. We believe that the information discovered would further the development and/or adaptation of clinical patient guidelines to patients with multimorbidity who are taking multiple drugs.
