Patient data were obtained from electronic health records. Polypharmacy was defined as the concurrent use of five or more medications, including ARPi. Adverse events were graded based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>97.3% of 186 patients were using at least one medicine simultaneously with an ARPi, with a median of seven concomitant medicines. The prevalence of polypharmacy was found to be 55.4%. The most commonly prescribed drug classes included analgesics, antihypertensives, lipid-lowering agents, and antidiabetics. The most frequent Grade 3\u20134 adverse events were anemia (11.8%), fatigue (10.2%), and hypokalemia (9.1%). Liver enzyme elevations were observed more frequently in patients receiving enzalutamide whereas those treated with abiraterone acetate were more likely to develop metabolic and electrolyte abnormalities, including anemia, hypokalemia, and elevated creatinine kinase levels.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Polypharmacy is highly prevalent among geriatric patients receiving ARPi for mHSPC and may contribute to the development of clinically significant toxicities and adverse events.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/10781552261463637","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,1]],"date-time":"2026-07-01T06:10:43Z","timestamp":1782886243000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Polypharmacy and clinical outcomes in geriatric patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer treated with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9381-1934","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tanju","family":"Kapagan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Oncology, Basaksehir Cam and Sakura City Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nilufer","family":"Bulut","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Oncology, Basaksehir Cam and Sakura City Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ulviye","family":"Oflas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Oncology, Basaksehir Cam and Sakura City Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gokmen Umut","family":"Erdem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Oncology, Basaksehir Cam and Sakura City Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1470-2045(23)00063-3"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1470-2045(19)30082-8"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cger.2022.05.010"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cger.2022.05.004"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/17425255.2021.2027908"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10557-023-07453-0"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12877-017-0621-2"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s41999-021-00479-3"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/onco.13961"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2022.743138"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10408444.2019.1694861"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1207506"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1405095"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/17425255.2022.2122812"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/10781552211015794"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1903835"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1704174"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(21)02437-5"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1200\/JCO.19.00799"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/europace\/euab251"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_22_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2217\/pgs-2020-0026"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_23_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.rpsm.2013.12.005"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_24_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nefroe.2021.04.018"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_25_2","unstructured":"Drugs.com\u00ae.
