Why the study?
Does potentially inappropriate prescribing increase adverse health outcomes in patients with dementia?
Does potentially inappropriate prescribing increase adverse health outcomes in patients with dementia?
Potentially inappropriate prescribing is common in dementia patients and is linked to increased adverse health outcomes, highlighting the need for medication optimization.
May warrant prescribing review in dementia; leaves open whether optimization reduces adverse outcomes in trials.
patients with dementia frequently receive PIPs, and those who do are more likely to experience AHO. These results highlight the need to optimise medication in dementia patients, especially those with comorbidities.
