Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased fall risk, partly due to AF-related comorbid-ities. We investigated the impact of different comorbidity patterns on fall risk in older adults with AF. Methods: Using the Swedish National Patient Register, we identified 203,042 adults (45 % females) with AF and at least one comorbi...
Introduction
Current research on potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP) in polymedicated older adults with atrial fibrillation (AF) and multimorbidity is predominantly focused on PIP of oral anticoagulants (OAC). Our study aimed to assess (i) the overall prevalence of PIP in older multimorbid adults with AF, (ii) potential associated factors o...
Purpose Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are prevalent among multimorbid and polymedicated older adults and can increase the risk of adverse drug reactions (ADRs), hospital admissions, and mortality. This study describes the incidence and prevalence of 66 clinically relevant DDIs and analyses the occurrence of 12 corresponding predefined ADRs in older...
Purpose: The STOPP/START criteria are frequently applied in observational studies to assess potentially inappropriate prescribing in older adults. This study aimed to assess the applicability of the three available STOPP/START versions in two distinct data sources.
Methods: To evaluate the applicability of the three versions of STOPP/START criteri...
Polypharmacy in multimorbid older patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) is a risk factor for potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP). We aimed to systematically assess the evidence on the prevalence of PIP and its impact on adverse health outcomes in this patient group.
A systematic search of the published peer-reviewed literature describing t...
Background
Older individuals with atrial fibrillation (AF) often present with multiple comorbidities that might challenge their clinical management and worsen the prognosis. Identifying homogenous groups of individuals within similar patterns of comorbidities and health trajectories could potentially facilitate a better integrated care targeting pa...
Introduction
Older adults with atrial fibrillation (AF) have an increased risk of comorbidities and often take a combination of medicines. Moreover, it is known that anticoagulants tend to be underprescribed or underdosed in older patients with AF. Thus, it is important to evaluate the overall quality of prescribing because potentially inappropriat...
