People who use combination medicines may or may not be captured as having #polypharmacy depending on whether the active ingredients in each product are considered. Read more about measuring polypharmacy in our new publication: doi.org/10.1007/s11096…

@georgieblee 's new paper showed substantial variability between different approaches to measures polypharmacy. We need to consider how we are classifying polypharmacy when considering who's eligible for services link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Deprescribing for older people in hospital followed up for 12 months was tested in the AusTAPER study. We showed that a structured, collaborative medication review can reduce meds and save costs with no change to health outcomes. #Deprescribing doi.org/10.1111/imj.16…

@markhoro Thanks Mark. We thought that was important too. Like the original systematic review from 2016, we have again included information on both - how the medicines were stopped if it’s in the original paper - adverse drug withdrawal effects reported in the original paper

Interesting study but HOW were drugs stopped? If they were stopped rapidly as they often are then the results are confounded by withdrawal effects and the neg effect of withdrawal attributed to being off the drugs. Future reviews and studies should pay attention to this.

A new systematic review includes 286 papers that evaluate the impact of #deprescribing in older people, focusing on the outcomes of discontinuing unnecessary medications. bpspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… @KennyPharmPhD @cdbeer Amanda Quek @drhurwitz87 @AmyTPage

We looked at medication regimens of older people living in residential aged care from the day of admission and followed them up for two years. People used more medicines if they had more prescribers. Continuity of care matters authors.elsevier.com/a/1ikKO5QyCqJ~…
