Variation in Provision of Collaborative Medication Reviews on Entry to Long-Term Care Facilities

Janet K. Sluggett et al.

Summary: This study investigated the timely provision of Residential Medication Management Reviews (RMMRs) for new residents in Australian residential aged care facilities. The results showed that resident characteristics such as dementia, non-English primary language, higher number of prescriptions, and need for medication administration assistance were associated with timely RMMR provision. There was significant national intrafacility variation in the provision of RMMRs, indicating underutilization of this important medication review service.

Trends in Anticoagulant Use at Nursing Home Admission and Variation by Frailty and Chronic Kidney Disease Among Older Adults with Atrial Fibrillation

Michael A. Campitelli et al.

Summary: The study found an increase in the use of oral anticoagulants among nursing home residents with atrial fibrillation following the approval of DOACs, but over 40% of residents remained untreated. Use of DOACs increased while warfarin use declined. Frail residents were less likely to receive anticoagulants, while CKD patients were less likely to use DOACs.

Deprescribing Blood Pressure Treatment in Long-Term Care Residents

Michelle C. Odden et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the incidence of deprescribing antihypertensive medication among older adults in VA nursing homes, finding that 70.4% of residents had at least one deprescribing event during their stay, with 48.7% experiencing a net reduction in antihypertensive medications. Among potentially triggering events, a 50% increase in serum creatinine was associated with the greatest likelihood of deprescribing, while a fall in the past 30 days was associated with the smallest increased risk of deprescribing.

National Trends and Policy Impacts on Provision of Home Medicines Reviews and Residential Medication Management Reviews in Older Australians, 2009-2019

Janet K. Sluggett et al.

Summary: Between 2009 and 2019, there were slight increases in the provision rates of Home Medicines Review (HMR) and Residential Medication Management Review (RMMR) among older Australians, but significant decreases were observed after program changes in March 2014, indicating that the changes restricted access to subsidized medicines reviews and resulted in marked decreases in service provision.
