Predictors of a Gabapentinoid–Loop‐Diuretic Prescribing Cascade in U.S. Nursing Home Residents
Approximately 1 in 20 NH residents who initiate gabapentinoids receives a loop diuretic within 3 months. Potentially modifiable predictors included existing polypharmacy and titrating gabapentinoid doses. NH clinicians should monitor for edema soon after gabapentinoid initiation and consider dose reductions or discontinuation before adding a loop diuretic.
