Official title
Bundled Hyperpolypharmacy Deprescribing: Implementation and Evaluation of a System-wide Quality Improvement Intervention
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Older patients using many prescription drugs (hyperpolypharmacy) may be at increased risk of adverse drug effects. This randomized controlled trial tested the effectiveness and safety of a quality intervention intended to reduce hyperpolypharmacy. The study was set at Kaiser Permanente Northern California, an integrated health system with multiple pre-existing deprescribing workflows. Eligible patients were aged ≥76 years using ≥10 prescription medications. The intervention included physician-pharmacist collaborative drug therapy management, standard-of-care practice recommendations, shared decision-making, and deprescribing protocols administered by telephone over multiple cycles for a maximum of 180 days after allocation. A priori primary effectiveness endpoints included change in the number of medications and in the prevalence of geriatric syndrome from 181-365 days after allocation. Second endpoints included utilization and adverse drug withdrawal effects. Information was obtained from the electronic health record.
