About
Andrzej Sagan’s research focuses on geriatric pharmacology and patient safety, with a particular emphasis on the risks associated with polypharmacy and polypragmasy in elderly populations. His most cited work, “Falls Among Elderly And Their Connection With Polypharmacy And Polypragmasy” (2018), co-authored with Bartoszek, Korga, and Szalast, examines the critical link between multiple medication use and increased fall risk in older adults. This study contributes to the growing body of evidence on iatrogenic harm in geriatric care, highlighting how excessive or inappropriate prescribing can lead to adverse outcomes. With 2 citations, the paper serves as a foundational reference for researchers exploring medication management strategies to prevent falls. Sagan’s work underscores the importance of deprescribing and careful medication review in elderly patients, offering practical insights for clinicians. His research is particularly valuable for students and practitioners in gerontology, clinical pharmacy, and public health, providing a clear framework for understanding how pharmacological interventions intersect with patient safety. By addressing the complexities of polypharmacy, Sagan’s contributions help advance safer prescribing practices for aging populations.
