Interesting observation on #deprescribing at hospital admission. Older adults with more comorbidities were likelier to have medications stopped or tapered, irrespective of the number of medications at admission, with implications on the transition of care.

Insightful review and meta-analysis out of Queensland indicating that #deprescribing dual-purpose medications can lower mortality and referral to acute facilities. More person-centred outcomes in high-quality #deprescribing studies are needed, however! @Deprescribing
