abstract = {Within the context of the demographic change the proportion
of the elderly in the overall population is steadily
increasing. At the same time elderly patients are prescribed
a disproportionately high number of medicines in comparison
to younger patients. In the light of multimorbidity and
polypharmacy which affect a relevant portion of the older
population, drug safety is of particular importance.In
recent years, the prescription of psychiatric drugs to
elderly patients was repeatedly subjected to regulatory
assessment and recommendations, for example the safety of
antipsychotics in patients with dementia. As only limited
information is often available with respect to the risks of
medicines in the elderly population, additional efforts are
necessary for improvement of the database. In this context,
the system of spontaneous reporting, e.g. the reporting of
cases of suspected adverse drug reactions to the responsible
authorities, plays an important role with respect to the
additional knowledge to be gathered. By reporting observed
adverse drug reactions as well as by the quality of the
reported information, physicians are able to significantly
influence the effectiveness of this system in a positive
way.As medical care for the majority of the elderly
population is provided by general practitioners, adequate
longitudinal studies are of special interest for
investigating drug safety in the elderly. This aim is being
pursued by the AgeCoDe study (German study on aging,
cognition and dementia in primary care patients), a
prospective, multicentre observational study, which is being
carried out within the German competence network of
degenerative dementia (Kompetenznetz Degenerative
Demenzen).},
