Comparative Study
[MEDICATIONS DEPRESCRIBING IN ELDERLY NURSING HOME RESIDENTS].
Polypharmacy, inappropriate prescribing and adverse drug reactions are frequent and important among elderly nursing home residents. Few clinical trials have evaluated systematic withdrawal of medications in nursing homes. ⋯ A controlled deprescribing intervention in nursing homes was feasible and acceptable to participants. Such interventions should be further evaluated in larger randomized controlled trials.
