Brief Summary:
Polypharmacy regular use of 5 prescribed medications is common among older adults and potentially harmful Patients differ in their concern about medications comfort in raising questions about them and trust and confidence in physician judgment This pilot observational research will determine older adults readiness to deprescribe that is stop prescribed medications under physician guidance
Detailed Description:
The purpose of this research is to assess readiness to deprescribe that is to determine how willing patients are to stop prescriptions that may no longer be necessary or may no longer have a favorable benefit-risk ratio This readiness depends on many factors including a patients trust in a health care provider how proactive patients are in seeking care and patients comfort in changing longstanding medical regimens
The proposed two-wave survey research will use validated instruments and recruit from an older adult research registry to determine i readiness to deprescribe at baseline ii correlates of such readiness and iii effects of intercurrent illness and changing health on readiness to deprescribe at 6 months
Specific aims
1 Determine readiness to deprescribe among a sample of patients with 5 prescriptions using validated scales
2 Determine correlates of readiness to deprescribe Patients differing in age gender race education and comorbidity may differ in willingness to stop prescribed medications
3 Determine the effect of intercurrent illness on readiness to deprescribe Over 6 months we anticipate some patients will have a new onset of illness or hospitalization or increasing levels of disability We would like to determine if these changes in medical status affect readiness to deprescribe
