Key Points

  • Examine the patterns of administration of psychoactive drugs and their relation to distress behaviors in dementia.
  • Analyzed medication administration patterns across different psychoactive drug classes.
  • Identified links between the use of various drug classes.
  • Assessed early signs of distress behavior for targeted interventions.
  • Patterns of psychoactive medication administration varied among different drug classes.
  • There were observable links across different classes of psychoactive drugs.
  • Efforts to reduce prescriptions must consider the interplay between these medication classes.

Abstract

Patterns of psychoactive medication administration varied among drug classes, but were linked across drug classes. Efforts to reduce prescribing of these medications need to be designed to take into account multiple classes of medication and target early signs of distress behavior.
