?:definition
  • Accidents and injuries have been associated with use of medications, particularly older psychotropic medications, and especially patients with pre-existing high risk levels and/or continuing mental problems. In a study of falls in elderly, use of certain drugs (benzodiazepines, phenothiazines, and antidepressants) was an independent risk factor. Study on risk of accidental injury and benzodiazepines also confirmed an increased risk, especially in patients who had recently filled their prescription. \'Accident\' is defined as \'an unplanned or unintended but sometimes predictable event leading to injury, e.g., in traffic, industry, or a domestic setting, or such an event developing in the course of a disease.\' In medicine, the term \'injury\' can have a very broad meaning. For the purpose of this SMQ, a more narrow definition is used, i.e., \'to injure\' is \'to wound, hurt or harm\'. Focus of this SMQ is not on \'metabolic\' injury (toxicity, etc.), but on personal injury or accident to the individual as a result of altered perception, consciousness, attention, behavior, etc.
