Why the study?
What is the proportion of calcium channel blocker-diuretic prescribing cascades in persons with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias?
What is the proportion of calcium channel blocker-diuretic prescribing cascades in persons with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias?
The occurrence of the calcium channel blocker-diuretic prescribing cascade in patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias is low.
This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.
We describe an approach to identify prescribing cascades in persons with ADRD, which can be used to assess the proportion of prescribing cascades in large cohorts. We determined the proportion of CCB-diuretic prescribing cascades was low.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Low CCB-diuretic cascade rates suggest limited immediate concern in ADRD; leaves open larger prospective studies to guide monitoring.
