“…Ten studies specifically recruited participants with cognitive impairment (Buettner 2002; Chenoweth 2009; Klages 2011; Kovacs 2013; Mador 2004; Neyens 2009; Shaw 2003; Toulotte 2003; Van de Ven 2014; Whitney 2017). Exceptionally, Stenvall 2007 only recruited people with a proximal femoral (hip) fracture.…”

“…Deprescribing involves a completion of a review of an individual's current medications and subsequent withdrawal of inappropriate medications with supervision from a healthcare professional after careful consideration of the likelihood of adverse events with a goal of improving clinical outcomes [26,27]. Interventions for deprescribing have been trialled in residential aged care facilities, however the effects of these interventions as shown in randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have been mixed and further studies are required [28][29][30][31][32][33]26]. The high prevalence of DBIassociated medications and PIMs according to the Beers Criteria in the current study suggests that current recommendations for appropriate medication use in older adults may need to be better implemented in residential aged care settings.…”

These altered health outcomes can include mortality and adverse drug withdrawal events (as discussed below).…”
