The Prevalence of Frailty Among Older Adults Living With Dementia: A Systematic Review.

Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of frailty in older adults living with dementia and explore the differences in medication use according to frailty status.

Design: Systematic review of published literature from inception to August 20, 2020.

Setting And Participants: Adults age ≥65 years living with dementia in acute-care, community and residential care settings.

Impact of medication reviews on inappropriate prescribing in aged care.

Background: Inappropriate prescribing (IP) is prevalent among elderly people in aged care facilities. Little has been published on the effect of pharmacists performing residential medication management reviews (RMMRs) in aged care on the appropriateness of prescribing. RMMRs represents a key strategy for achieving quality use of medicines, by assisting residents in aged care facilities and their carers to better manage their medicines.
