Deprescribing as a Way to Reduce Inappropriate Use of Drugs for Overactive Bladder in Primary Care (DROP): Protocol for a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial With an Embedded Explanatory Sequential Mixed Methods Study

Deprescribing as a Way to Reduce Inappropriate Use of Drugs for Overactive Bladder in Primary Care (DROP): Protocol for a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial With an Embedded Explanatory Sequential Mixed Methods Study

Deprescribing is an established management strategy to minimize polypharmacy and PIMs. It is, in general, a safe process, with a minor risk of causing withdrawal symptoms or return of the condition that was being treated [18,20]. Deprescribing is proven effective, leading to less treatment burden, reduced side effects, and lower medication expenses. However, there is less evidence on the impact of deprescribing on clinical and patient-centered outcomes [21].

Assessing the Efficacy of the ARMOR Tool–Based Deprescribing Intervention for Fall Risk Reduction in Older Patients Taking Fall Risk–Increasing Drugs (DeFRID Trial): Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Assessing the Efficacy of the ARMOR Tool–Based Deprescribing Intervention for Fall Risk Reduction in Older Patients Taking Fall Risk–Increasing Drugs (DeFRID Trial): Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

In response to these challenges, deprescribing has emerged as a crucial strategy. Deprescribing is defined as “the process of identifying and discontinuing medications in which existing or potential harms outweigh potential benefits within the context of an individual patient’s care goals, function, values, and preferences” [5].

Reduction of Sleep Medications via a Combined Digital Insomnia and Pharmacist-Led Deprescribing Intervention: Protocol for a Feasibility Trial

Reduction of Sleep Medications via a Combined Digital Insomnia and Pharmacist-Led Deprescribing Intervention: Protocol for a Feasibility Trial

Two key challenges to deprescribing sedative-hypnotics are rebound insomnia symptoms and the lack of personalized care (eg, educational brochures) [49]. Many individuals report being unaware of the risks associated with sedative-hypnotics, thus education and multidisciplinary collaboration are critical, especially as these factors are associated with enhanced deprescribing outcomes [50].

Implementing Blended Care to Discontinue Benzodiazepine Receptor Agonist Use for Insomnia: Process Evaluation of a Pragmatic Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

Implementing Blended Care to Discontinue Benzodiazepine Receptor Agonist Use for Insomnia: Process Evaluation of a Pragmatic Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

In preparation for this trial, we noticed a gap in the literature regarding the implementation of blended care for deprescribing in a primary care setting. Thus, a multicomponent process evaluation was set up to increase our understanding of this complex intervention. We report on both the setup and results of this process evaluation to inform future implementation projects on blended care in general practice.

Health Impacts and Characteristics of Deprescribing Interventions in Older Adults: Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Health Impacts and Characteristics of Deprescribing Interventions in Older Adults: Protocol for a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

As for the deprescribing of chronic diuretics, 1 study reported preserved health outcomes after deprescribing [25], but 2 others failed to do so [26,27]. A 2016 review by Page et al [28] aimed to determine if deprescribing is a safe, effective, and feasible intervention to reduce mortality in older adults.
