Clinician contributions to central nervous system‐active polypharmacy among older adults with dementia in the <scp>United States</scp>
In this cross-sectional analysis of Medicare claims data, primary care clinicians (both physicians and APPs) prescribed the majority of medications that contributed to CNS-active polypharmacy for PLWD. Future research is needed to identify strategies to support primary care clinicians in appropriate prescribing of CNS-active medications to PLWD.
