Polypharmacy, the concurrent use of multiple medicines, is a growing concern among older adults and those with chronic conditions. Deprescribing through dose reduction or discontinuing selected medicines strategy for reducing medicine-related harm. The Patient Typology was developed using qualitative methods to describe varying factors that are important when they consider deprescribing. objective this study quantitative define distinct classes via Typology. This used cross-sectional experimental design in which data collected an online survey from participants 65 years Australia, Netherlands, United Kingdom, States. A latent class analysis performed 4-item about beliefs importance how learn medicine decision-making preferences, attitudes towards stopping medicines. Older (n = 2,250) were median 70 2-thirds reported their highest level education associate's degree trade school less. We identified 4 classes: Class 1 "Trusts doctor" (41.6%), 2 "Makes own decisions" (30.2%), 3 "Avoids deprescribing" (15.5%), 'Medicines not important' (12.7%). report diverse perspectives deprescribing, emphasizing need tailored communication strategies clinical settings. Additional research needed examine adults' preferences real-world contexts refine improve deprescribing interventions. NCT04676282.

Overtreatment with cardiometabolic medication in older patients can lead to major adverse events. Timely deprescribing of these medications is therefore essential. Self-reported willingness stop usually high among people, still overtreatment common and rarely initiated. An important barrier for reported by general practitioners the patients' unwillingness medication. More insights are needed into influence characteristics on their attitudes towards differences between groups.A survey people using revised Patients' Attitudes Towards Deprescribing (rPATD) questionnaire was performed. Participants completed rPATD an adapted version four groups. Linear ordinal logistic regression were used assess age, sex, therapeutic area number deprescribing. Univariate analysis compare sulfonylureas, insulins, antihypertensive statins.Overall, 314 out 1143 invited participants (median age 76 years, 54% female). Most (80%) satisfied willing if doctor said it possible (88%). Age, sex had no Taking more than ten medicines significantly associated a higher perceived burden. Antihypertensive insulin considered appropriate statins, sulfonylureas not favouring deprescribing.The majority one possible.

Abstract Aim The aim of this systematic review is to explore the attitudes older adults (≥65 years old) and their carers towards de‐prescribing. Methods We identified relevant studies from three databases; MEDLINE, CINAHL Web Science. Two reviewers (MS, SS) independently extracted data each selected study using a standardised self‐developed extraction form. Main findings were summarised descriptively. Results A total 35 included in review. Of them, 19 questionnaire studies, 11 semi‐structured interviews, 4 focus groups 1 used nominal group technique approach. Most willing have medication de‐prescribed if told do so by healthcare professional (HCP). Other factors that increased willingness de‐prescribing included; trust HCP, side effects inconvenience medications as well prospect follow‐up monitoring during In contrast, perceived effectiveness, unawareness lack benefit, negative expectations ageing fear preventing Conclusion De‐prescribing an important concept people given harm associated with polypharmacy age group. Overall, are facilitated HCP. However, there remain few barriers which may need be addressed certain patients, through discussions between adults/their allow more effective.

Unsustainably high numbers of patients attending emergency departments (ED) is a serious issue worldwide, with consequences for the quality and timeliness care. Avoidable visits, i.e. unnecessary or that should be dealt elsewhere, exacerbate this issue. Most studies focussed on avoidable attendances use clinical data collected by hospital staff, while study relies survey from asked to recall their last ED attendance reflect its necessity. We apply Recursive Bivariate Probit model quantify factors affecting patients' perception an visit being (or not), unveiling how it relates socio-demographic contextual factors. find who do not trust General Practitioner (GP) are less likely think was avoidable.

Background Deprescribing requires patients' involvement and taking attitudes toward deprescribing into account. To understand the observed variation in these attitudes, influence of contextual-level factors, such as country or healthcare setting, should be taken Methods We conducted a systematic review studies using revised Patients' Attitudes Towards (rPATD) questionnaire among older adults. searched articles Medline Embase up to 30 June 2021. PRISMA guideline was used for search process reporting. summarized outcomes from rPATD compared at study population level between high low-middle-income countries, global regions, settings ANOVA testing. Correlations with mean age populations were tested. Associations individual patient extracted included summarized. Results Sixteen included. Percentages patients willing stop medication significantly lower countries (<70% Nepal Malaysia) high-income (>85% USA, Australia, European countries). No significant differences when results by region setting but willingness (>95%) seen two an inpatient population. A higher associated medication. At level, associations characteristics, including demographics education, showed inconsistent results. Conclusion Findings about are influenced contextual factors.
