Implication

Randomized controlled trial improved inappropriate prescribing in older adults, suggesting better outcomes with interprofessional medication review.

Key Points

  • Improvement in medication appropriateness was observed, but did not reach statistical significance.
  • The intervention group showed a 2.2 point improvement in the Medication Appropriateness Index over 8 weeks, compared to 1.2 in the control group.
  • Randomized controlled trial of interprofessional medication reviews involved 151 older adults in an emergency department setting.
  • Deprescribing may be a vital strategy for enhancing medication suitability for older adults.
