The median patient age was 74 years, 25.7% of patients were Black, and the median CCI was 3. Despite being associated with fewer medications, increasing age was associated with an increased CCI. After adjusting for patient, tumor, and treatment factors, both the number of medications and the number of medication classes were associated with increased 1-year mortality with adjusted OR (95% CI) of 1.03 (1.03, 1.04) and 1.08 (1.06, 1.11), respectively. Medications within Anatomic Therapeutic Class (ATC) N (nervous system) and ATC G (genitourinary and sex hormones) were associated with decreased OS, HR 1.18 (1.11, 1.25) and HR 1.15 (1.10, 1.20), respectively. Medications within ATC C (cardiovascular) were associated with increased OS, HR 0.91 (0.86, 0.97). Within a subgroup of patients with comparable age and CCI, the increased number of medications was associated with the increased risk of death. <b>Conclusions:</b> The number and type of medications were independently associated with survival in patients undergoing treatment for mCRPC. With new therapies for treatment of advanced prostate cancer, patients are living longer, which increases the need for better understanding of the impact of comorbid diseases.
