Introduction Reducing polypharmacy and overprescribing in older people living with frailty is challenging. Evidence suggests that this could be facilitated by structured medication review (SMR) deprescribing processes involving the multidisciplinary team (MDT). This study aimed to develop an MDT SMR intervention primary care for frailty. Methods Intervention development was informed Medical Research Council framework complex behaviour change implementation theories. planning included: 1) a realist of 28 papers identified 33 context-mechanism-outcome configurations successful care, 2) qualitative 26 healthcare professionals (HCPs), 13 their informal carers. The intervention’s guiding principles were developed functions proposed, discussed refined through iterative process four online co-design stakeholder workshops. Results final version consisted five components: Proactive identification patients targeted using routinely collected data; HCPs’ preparation evidence-based tool identify prioritise high-risk medications deprescribing; 3) Preparing carers leaflet sent prior explaining purpose reasons potentially stopping or changing medications; 4) Conducting person-centred face-to-face phone, tailored patient/carer needs, other members based on expertise; 5) Tailored follow-up plans allowing continuity highlighting signs symptoms monitor, arranging text, phone appointment. Conclusion A address multiple challenges deprescribing. use rigorous methods theories maximises feasibility, acceptability implementation.

Abstract Background Tackling problematic polypharmacy requires tailoring the use of medicines to individual circumstances and may involve process deprescribing. Deprescribing can cause anxiety concern for clinicians patients. Tailoring medication decisions often entails beyond protocol decision-making, a complex involving emotional cognitive work healthcare professionals We undertook realist review highlight understand interactions between different factors involved in deprescribing develop final programme theory that identifies explains components good practice support person-centred approach older patients with multimorbidity polypharmacy.

older adults are at risk of adverse outcomes due to a high prevalence polypharmacy and potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs). Deprescribing interventions have been demonstrated reduce PIMs. However, deprescribing is not performed routinely in long-term care facilities (LTCFs). This qualitative evidence synthesis aims identify the factors which limit enable health workers' (HCWs) engagement with LTCFs.the 'best-fit' framework approach was used synthesise by using Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) as priori framework. Included studies were analysed qualitatively LTCF barriers enablers mapped TDF. Constructs within domains refined best represent context.
