DOI: 10.1093/ageing/afz103.121
Abstract: Polypharmacy among older adults is a well-documented problem. The practice has been associated with potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs, adverse drug events (ADEs) and hospitalisation. This retrospective cohort study aims to evaluate polypharmacy, ADEs and anticholinergic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1159/000526863
Abstract: Introduction: Anticholinergic burden may be an important risk factor for the cognitive impairment. Especially in polypharmacy, even drugs with low anticholinergic effects may contribute to a significant anticholinergic burden. The drugs with anticholinergic effects are… read more here.
