Management of fall-risk-increasing drugs in Australian aged care residents: a retrospective cross-sectional study
FRID use was found to be highly prevalent among aged care residents. Pharmacists frequently identified opportunities to deprescribe FRIDs. However, reports often omitted resident viewpoints and the clinical grounds for deprescribing. Using resident-centered communication in medication review reports could improve their impact on FRID use and resident outcomes.
