Risk factors predictive of adverse drug events and drug-related falls in aged care residents: secondary analysis from the ReMInDAR trial

Gereltuya Dorj et al.

Summary: Residents of aged-care facilities have a higher risk of adverse drug events, which are associated with factors such as age, weight, previous falls, and the use of sedative or hypnotic medicines. Improved cognition is protective against adverse drug events.

The Extent of Medication-Related Hospital Admissions in Australia: A Review from 1988 to 2021

Renly Lim et al.

Summary: Medication-related problems often lead to patient harm. This paper reviews the Australian literature to determine the incidence, severity, and preventability of medication-related hospital admissions. The study estimates that at least 250,000 hospital admissions annually in Australia are medication related, with a cost of AUD$1.4 billion to the healthcare system. Two-thirds of these admissions are potentially preventable.

Effect of an ongoing pharmacist service to reduce medicine-induced deterioration and adverse reactions in aged-care facilities (nursing homes): a multicentre, randomised controlled trial (the ReMInDAR trial)

Elizabeth E. Roughead et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of a pharmacist-led intervention using validated tools to reduce medicine-induced deterioration and adverse reactions. The results showed promising results, particularly in improved cognition. However, there was no significant difference in frailty, 24-hour movement behavior, grip strength, adverse events, and quality of life between the intervention and control groups.

Epidemiology of adverse drug events and medication errors in four nursing homes in Japan: the Japan Adverse Drug Events (JADE) Study

Nobutaka Ayani et al.

Summary: A study in four nursing homes for older people in Japan found that ADEs and MEs were common among elderly residents, with around one-third of ADEs being preventable. MEs were most frequently observed during the monitoring stage, with inadequate observation following physician's prescriptions being a common cause. Assessment and appropriate adjustment of medication preadmission and postadmission to nursing homes are needed to improve medication safety.

Over Half of Falls Were Associated with Psychotropic Medication Use in Four Nursing Homes in Japan: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Nozomu Oya et al.

Summary: Medication use in nursing homes can significantly increase the risk of falls and injuries among residents, especially with a high percentage of falls being influenced by psychotropic drugs. Regularly taking a high number of medications may increase the risk of falls and injuries in this population. Identifying and addressing medication-related risks, along with assessing patient ADLs and comorbidities, could help to prevent falls in nursing homes.

Incidence of adverse incidents in residential aged care

Bella St Clair et al.

Summary: This study used incident management report data from 72 RACFs to quantify types and rates of adverse incidents experienced by residents. Falls were the most common event (36%), followed by behavior-related events (33%). Women and residents with low care needs were significantly less likely to experience adverse incidents. The study demonstrates that data from electronic management systems can provide crucial information about risk levels of adverse incidents for older Australians in RACFs.
