Domain-specific¶
- Polypharmacy
- The prescribing cascade adds a third self-amplifying mechanism: a drug side effect is misread as a new condition, treated with a new drug, whose side effect triggers another prescription — a feed-forward loop first described by Rochon and Gurwitz (1995) that lengthens polypharmacy regimens iteratively

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
