Scripts for data retrieval and statistical analysis of the publication" Use of potentially inappropriate medication and association with falls during hospitalisation: an analysis based on electronic health records (POLAR_MI)"
The provided software provides the R modules for both parts of the applied POLAR_MI ETL Pipeline, the distributed analysis approach developed within POLAR_MI:
Part 1: local data retrieval (WP_1_1_local_DataRetrieval.zip) and local statistical analysis (WP_1_1_local_StatisticalAnalysis.zip) for local execution at each centre
Part 2: meta-analysis of local results (WP_1_1_central_Metaanalysis.zip)
Within compressed folder, we provide “read me” files with further information.

The aim of the project is to use methods and processes of the Medical Informatics Initiative (MII) to contribute to the detection of health risks in patients with polypharmacy. Polypharmacy occurs especially in elderly patients with multimorbidity. Polypharmacy associated with an increased risk for medication errors and drug-drug or drug-disease interactions, which either reduce or intensify the desired effect of individual active substances or lead to undesired adverse drug effects (ADE). In the ...

The medical informatics initiative was created to close the gap between research and healthcare. All of Germany’s university hospitals have joined forces with research institutions, businesses, health insurers, and patient advocacy groups to create a framework that harnesses research findings to the direct benefit of patients. The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is investing around 160 million euros in the programme through 2021. The digitisation of medicine is creating ...
