Abstract: The pharmaceutical prescription data of all SHI-insured persons in a German federal state are analysed over a period of 10 years. With the help of the International ATC Code, each patient is assigned a Morbidity Related Group (MRG) as the active substance group with the highest costs per year. The leading MRG positions per age are compared between 2019 as the current year before the coronavirus pandemic and 2023 after the coronavirus pandemic. Between the ages of 23 and 31, treatment with antidepressants has come to the fore. Beta-lactam antibacterials and penicillins dominate in early childhood in both years and antithrombotics agents in old age. The correlations between age, polypharmacy and cost percentiles are examined in pairs or as a whole with correlations and partial correlations. All partial correlations of the three variables are greater than the correlations.
