About
Kamil Szalast is a researcher focused 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, Sagan, and Korga, examines the critical link between the concurrent use of multiple medications and the increased incidence of falls in older adults. This contribution highlights a pressing public health issue, as falls represent a leading cause of injury and reduced quality of life among the elderly. By drawing attention to the dangers of excessive or inappropriate prescribing, Szalast’s research underscores the need for careful medication management and deprescribing strategies. While his citation count is modest, the practical relevance of his work speaks to its potential for real-world impact in clinical settings. Szalast’s findings serve as an important reminder for healthcare professionals to balance therapeutic benefits with the risks of adverse events, making his research a valuable resource for students and practitioners in geriatric medicine and pharmacology.
