Prescribing patterns in people living with dementia in the community: A cross‐sectional study
The use of PIMs, psychotropics and polypharmacy were common in this sample of people with dementia living in the community. Associations were seen between participant characteristics and medication use. Future research should focus on reviewing PIMs and polypharmacy in people with dementia living in the community to assess the impact on health outcomes.
