Associations between Drug Burden Index and Mortality in Older People in Residential Aged Care Facilities
2012
Background: The Drug Burden Index (DBI), a measure of an individual’s exposure to anticholinergic and sedative medications, is associated with functional impairment in community-dwelling, older people. In people from residential aged care facilities (RACFs), DBI score does not appear to be associated with functional impairment, but is associated with an increased risk of falls.
