The dataset is an edge list, which is the suitable form of data to create networks.Medicine, Health and Life SciencesNetwork AnalysisCo-medicationPrescriptionsDrug interactionsRegistriesThe dataset contains the co-medicated medication pairs used in the Norwegian elderly population at January 1. 2013. The edge list consists of three variables; medication 1, medication 2, represented by ATC codes, and edges variable. The edge variable represents the number of patients who combined pairs of medications. The edge list is a preparatory form to generate a network.2013-01-01NorwayClinical dataAdministrative records dataOther1- The co-medication edge list is generated from a dataset derived from the Norwegian Prescription Database (NorPD) that contain the elderly medication use in Norway between 2012-2014.
