Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine the comorbidity index in geriatric patients of a neuropsychiatric hospital and to assess its impact on their survival. A pharmacoepidemiological study was conducted to assess comorbidity and its effect on survival in geriatric patients of a neuropsychiatric dispensary. There were analyzed 90 inpatient records of geriatric patients, men and women in equal numbers. The average Charlson index in the study group of patients was 13 %, which shows a low survival rate of geriatric patients with significant concomitant pathology. In addition, the average index of the Charl-son index was determined depending on the number of concomitant diseases and it revealed a tenden-cy to decrease the probability of survival of elderly patients over a 10-year period, with an increase in the level of comorbidity.
