To assess the therapeutic complexity, the authors used the Medical Regimen Complexity Index (MRCI),<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0135"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a> a complete tool whose end value is the sum of numerous parameters divided into 3 sections referencing the galenical form, the posology and the additional instructions associated with taking the drug. The MRCI was calculated based on the data in the discharge report. The drug regimen was considered complex when the MRCI score was in the fourth quartile. This was a study with a comprehensive methodology where the authors analyzed a large number of geriatric indices and scales. The study included 233 polypathological patients with a mean age of 79.8 years, 52.9% of whom were women. The mean number of drugs consumed was high (8.4), and most of the patients presented polypharmacy, while a third showed extreme polypharmacy. The authors concluded that the polypathological patients were polymedicated and had complex therapeutic drug regimens. Respiratory diseases were independently associated with greater therapeutic complexity, and cognitive impairment was associated with lower therapeutic complexity. In the article, the authors recognized a number of limitations that complicate the generalization of the data, although the data serve as an important starting point. Determining whether there were inappropriate prescriptions might have provided interesting information.</p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Understanding the treatment complexity of our patients is crucial, because it has been related to a poorer prognosis, for example, in terms of poorer treatment adherence, increased risk of hospitalization, higher mortality, nosocomial infections and other complications during hospitalization and the need for institutionalization after hospital discharge.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0140"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13–15</span></a> The effort needs to be bidirectional, working toward reducing treatment complexity and, when this is not possible, working to improve treatment adherence, thereby reducing the greater risk of hospitalization.

Incorporating the concept of therapeutic complexity, a wider concept than polypharmacy and which Bellostas-Muñoz and Díez-Manglano<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0130"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> apply to polypathological patients, will help us better understand these patients.
