The Relationship of an Anticholinergic Rating Scale With Serum Anticholinergic Activity in Elderly Nursing Home Residents
ndings support the validity of the CR-ACh-mod. However, unexplained variance in SAA suggests that the CR-ACh-mod could benefit from improvements. Future research will evaluate the effect of including factors such as dose and the relative anticholinergic burden from drugs at each of the rating levels. An alternative explanation for the variance which is supported by recent research is that nondrug factors contribute to SAA.
