Abstract in brief
- The study examines medication use among older adults in residential aged care facilities (RACFs), highlighting that most residents are prescribed numerous medicines, often leading to complex regimens with potential risks.
- The data show that nearly all residents experienced some form of potentially suboptimal medication use, including underprescribing and high-risk prescribing such as sedatives or anticholinergic drugs, with many also experiencing prescribing cascades.
- These findings suggest that the high prevalence of complex and potentially inappropriate medication regimens may put residents at risk of adverse effects, complicate medication management, and impact healthcare outcomes in aged care settings.]
