Exploring high priority potentially inappropriate prescribing cascades in older adults: population level retrospective cohort study
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to identify and prioritize potentially inappropriate prescribing cascades among older adults using a population-level retrospective cohort study in Ontario, Canada. They found 24 prescribing cascades that met specific criteria for prevalence, incidence, and temporal association, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to improve medication safety in this population. The findings can inform prescribing practices and policy development to mitigate risks associated with inappropriate medication use in older adults.
