Pharmacogenomic Drug-Gene Interactions in Geriatric Emergency Department Patients Who Sustained Falls: A Pilot Study
We found that in geriatric ED patients with a fall-related injury, most had a significant pharmacogenomic drug-gene interaction. DNA testing identifies these interactions and can assist with pharmacogenomic-guided medication prescribing, which may decrease adverse drug events and improve clinical outcomes.
