The MedSafer Study-Electronic Decision Support for Deprescribing in Hospitalized Older Adults A Cluster Randomized Clinical Trial

Emily G. McDonald et al.

Summary: This cluster randomized clinical trial evaluated the impact of an electronic deprescribing decision support tool on adverse drug events (ADEs) after hospital discharge among older adults with polypharmacy. The study found that while deprescribing did not have a significant effect on ADEs, it did lead to improvements in deprescribing.

Impact of the Goal-directed Medication Review Electronic Decision Support System on Drug Burden Index: A cluster-randomised clinical trial in primary care

Lisa Kouladjian O'Donnell et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the impact of implementing G-MEDSS in HMRs on DBI exposure and clinical outcomes. While the proportion of patients with HMR recommendations to reduce DBI was significantly higher in the intervention group, there was no reduction in patients' DBI at 3 months compared to usual care HMR.

STOPPFall(Screening Tool of Older Persons Prescriptions in older adults with high fall risk): a Delphi study by the EuGMS Task and Finish Group on Fall-Risk-Increasing Drugs

Lotta J. Seppala et al.

Summary: Healthcare professionals are often reluctant to deprescribe fall-risk-increasing drugs, leading to the development of STOPPFall and a deprescribing tool by a European expert group. Through an expert Delphi consensus process, 14 medication classes were included in STOPPFall, with practical deprescribing guidance developed for these classes. Evaluation of the effectiveness of these tools in falls prevention is recommended.

Summary: This study aimed to improve medication safety for discharged patients prescribed high-risk medications through a clinical pharmacist intervention. The results showed that the intervention did not significantly reduce the rate of adverse drug-related incidents or clinically important medication errors.

Protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis assessing the effectiveness of deprescribing in falls prevention in older people

Lotta J. Seppala et al.

Summary: This systematic review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of deprescribing interventions in preventing falls among older adults. The study will include all healthcare settings and interventions, focusing on randomized controlled trials comparing deprescribing with usual care. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations to inform guidelines on polypharmacy and fall-risk-increasing drugs (FRIDs).

Expert-based medication reviews to reduce polypharmacy in older patients in primary care: a northern-Italian cluster-randomised controlled trial

Angelika Mahlknecht et al.

Summary: A cluster-randomised controlled trial was conducted to assess the effects of interventions to reduce polypharmacy and inappropriate prescribing in older patients. While no conclusive effects were found on mortality and non-elective hospitalisations, falls were significantly reduced in the intervention group. These results suggest that even a modest reduction in inappropriate medications can have positive clinical effects.

Effects of an interprofessional deprescribing intervention in Swiss nursing homes: the Individual Deprescribing Intervention (IDeI) randomised controlled trial

Damien Cateau et al.

Summary: The study trialled a resident-level deprescribing intervention in nursing homes, showing that it can reduce some aspects of potentially inappropriate medication use but may have a negative impact on quality of life. The intervention did not reach its recruitment target, and some participants experienced adverse events following deprescribing.

Summary: The QC-DeMo intervention can reduce the use of some PIM classes, and could usefully complement other deprescribing interventions.

New horizons in falls prevention and management for older adults: a global initiative

Manuel Montero-Odasso et al.

Summary: Falls and fall-related injuries in older adults have negative impacts on quality of life and functional independence. There is a need for standardized approaches for falls prevention and management. A worldwide task force of experts aims to update clinical guidelines, emphasizing a person-centred approach and the importance of incorporating various perspectives to achieve a global consensus. Collaboration among multidisciplinary experts and stakeholders is crucial in developing global guidelines for falls prevention and management.
