Economic, cultural, and social inequalities in potentially inappropriate medication: A nationwide survey- and register-based study in Denmark
The findings highlight significant social inequalities in PIM exposure, driven by both economic, cultural, and social capital despite a universal healthcare system. Understanding the social determinants of PIM can inform policies to reduce inappropriate medication use and improve healthcare quality and equity.
