Do interventions to reduce anticholinergic medication burden improve anticholinergic burden scores in older adults?
Interventions aimed at reducing anticholinergic medication burden in older adults did not significantly change anticholinergic burden scores.
Overall, there was no significant difference with interventions to reduce anticholinergic burden. As we did not see a significant change in anticholinergic burden scores following interventions, it is likely other outcomes would not change. Short follow-up time and lack of training and support surrounding successful deprescribing may have contributed.
Braithwaite et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
