Medication use and cognitive impairment among residents of aged care facilities

Leila Shafiee Hanjani et al.

Summary: The study found that potentially inappropriate polypharmacy is common in RACF residents, with cognitively intact residents receiving significantly more medications than those with cognitive impairment. While the proportions of residents receiving inappropriate medications were not significantly different across the groups, there is a need to optimize prescribing in RACF residents, with particular attention to medications with anti-cholinergic effects.

Chronic Polypharmacy with Increasing Drug Burden Index Exacerbates Frailty and Impairs Physical Function, with Effects Attenuated by Deprescribing, in Aged Mice

John Mach et al.

Summary: The use of multiple medications and a high Drug Burden Index are linked with impaired physical function in older adults, but deprescribing may offer potential benefits. A preclinical study on mice found that chronic polypharmacy and a high DBI score can increase frailty and decrease function in old age, with drug withdrawal in old age able to reverse these outcomes. It was not the number of medications but the type and dose that caused adverse geriatric outcomes.

Supporting deprescribing in hospitalised patients: formative usability testing of a computerised decision support tool

Melissa T. Baysari et al.

Summary: Despite growing evidence supporting deprescribing, the practice is not widespread in hospitals. A computerized decision support tool based on DBI was tested for usability, revealing areas for improvement such as terminology and consistency. User feedback led to modifications to enhance the tool before pilot testing in hospital settings.
