      <abstract xml:lang="en">
        <p>Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) have a significant impact on the patient’s health. The purpose of this PhD thesis was to analyse the impact of ADRs on the admissions to the emergency room, using the data obtained from the MEREAFaPS study. Elderly patients resulted the most exposed group to ADRs. Gastrointestinal disorders were the most commonly reported adverse reactions. Acetylsalicylic acid and warfarin were the most reported drugs. 17% of serious ADRs and 32% of the resulting deaths were classified as avoidable. Elderly age was found to be the main risk factor associated with ADRs. It is therefore important to underline the need for a more careful use of drugs in this group of patients.</p>

        <p>Le reazioni avverse a farmaco (ADR) hanno un notevole impatto sulla salute dei pazienti. Lo scopo di questa tesi di dottorato è stato quello di analizzare l’impatto delle ADR sugli accessi in pronto soccorso, utilizzando i dati ottenuti dallo studio MEREAFaPS. I pazienti anziani sono risultati il gruppo più esposto ad ADR. I disturbi gastrointestinali sono state le reazioni avverse maggiormente riportate. L’acido acetilsalicilico ed il warfarin sono stati i due farmaci più segnalati. Il 17% delle ADR gravi e il 32% dei decessi correlati sono stati classificati come evitabili. L’età anziana  è risultato essere il principale fattore di rischio associato ad ADR, si sottolinea per questo la necessità di un uso più attento dei farmaci in questo gruppo di pazienti.</p>
