Prescription Trends of Potentially Inappropriate Medications and Anticholinergics in Ambulatory Older Adults With and Without Dementia

These findings highlight the need for targeted strategies to reduce inappropriate prescribing, particularly for those with cognitive impairment. Future efforts should emphasize safer deprescribing practices in this vulnerable population.
