Srikartika VM, Ha N, Youens D, Moorin R. Assessing the feasibility of anticholinergic burden scales and measures in administrative data: A systematic review. Arch Gerontol Geriatr 2024; 129:105646. [PMID: 39388728 DOI: 10.1016/j.archger.2024.105646] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2024] [Revised: 08/06/2024] [Accepted: 09/28/2024] [Indexed: 10/12/2024]
Abstract
AIM This systematic review aimed to identify and evaluate the quality and adaptability of existing anticholinergic burden scales and measures by using administrative dispensing data. METHOD A comprehensive literature search was conducted using the Medline, Embase, CINAHL, and Google Scholar databases from 2001 to 2022. Studies that introduced, updated, or modified anticholinergic burden scales and measures were included in this review. Quality assessment considered various aspects, including scoring systems, tool development criteria, and specific requirements tailored for administrative data. RESULTS Twenty-eight anticholinergic burden scales and measures were identified in 14 countries. The Modified Anticholinergic Risk Scale excelled in the scoring system, while the German Anticholinergic Burden Scale stood out in the scale development process. However, significant variability was observed in methodologies, medication listings, and adaptability to administrative data. Quality assessment considers aspects such as potency, dose, exposure duration, longitudinal measurement, clinical interpretation, and compatibility with administrative data variables. The evaluation also considered tool development criteria including evidence for medication selection, panel expertise, relevance, updating methods, international applicability, validation, and clinical guidance. CONCLUSION This review emphasizes the importance of adaptable and robust tools that can work well with administrative data to ensure patient safety and better health outcomes, given the ongoing evolution of anticholinergic medications. The findings of this systematic review provide valuable insights for clinicians and researchers in selecting the most appropriate anticholinergic burden scale or measure according to their specific needs and data sources. This systematic review was registered with PROSPERO (registration ID CRD42023423959).

Abstract
Background In older inpatients, anticholinergic medications can increase the risk of complications that may increase length of stay (LOS). Cyclobenzaprine is an anticholinergic medication associated with mental status changes, falls, and injuries in older patients. Objective The purpose of this study is to determine whether use of a lower cyclobenzaprine dose (5 mg) compared with higher dosing (10 mg) will affect LOS, 30-day readmission rates, and need for injectable psychotropic agents in inpatients 65 years of age and older. Methods This was a retrospective cohort analysis comparing outcomes in patients 65 years of age and older who received either a 5 mg or 10 mg cyclobenzaprine dose during their inpatient admission over a 2.5-year period. The primary outcome was hospital LOS, adjusted using multivariate linear regression. Secondary outcomes included 30-day readmission rate adjusted using logistic regression and use of injectable antipsychotics or benzodiazepines. A sub-analysis evaluated the impact of the institution's implementation of a geriatric prescribing context (GEM-CON) on cyclobenzaprine dose selection. Results The adjusted LOS was 32.7% longer (95% CI 25.9%-39.9%) for patients exposed to higher-dose cyclobenzaprine. Use of injectable antipsychotics or benzodiazepines was also significantly greater in the higher-dose group (P < 0.001; P = 0.025). Cyclobenzaprine dose was not significantly associated with readmission on multivariate analysis (OR = 0.93, 95% CI 0.45-1.93). After GEM-CON implementation, there was a significant increase in use of the recommended lower cyclobenzaprine dose (P < 0.001). Conclusion Use of lower cyclobenzaprine dosing in older inpatients is associated with reduced hospital LOS and need for injectable antipsychotics and benzodiazepines.

Anticholinergic burden among in-patients: a cross-sectional study on prevalence, determinants, and impact on mortality in Ethiopia. Ther Adv Drug Saf 2024; 15:20420986241259624. [PMID: 38881539 PMCID: PMC11179449 DOI: 10.1177/20420986241259624] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Numerous studies report that anticholinergic burden (ACB) has been linked with several health consequences, including increased hospital admissions, prolonged hospitalization, and physical and cognitive impairment. However, low- and middle-income settings, as well as younger individuals, are underrepresented. Objectives To assess the prevalence and determinants of ACB, and to assess the impact of ACB on in-hospital mortality among adult in-patients at University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital (UOGCSH). Design A cross-sectional study was conducted from June to August 2022 at UOGCSH among adult in-patients. Methods A pre-tested questionnaire was utilized to collect data from patients and their corresponding medical charts. A consecutive sampling technique was used to select the participants. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize socio-demographic and clinical characteristics. Chi-squared, Fisher's exact, and Wilcoxon rank sum tests, as appropriate, were used to determine associations between independent variables and ACB. Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Cox proportional hazards regression test were used to assess the impact of ACB on in-hospital mortality. Results A total of 420 adult in-patients, median (interquartile range) age of 38 (26, 55) years, participated in this study. Over half (58.3%) were exposed to anticholinergic medicines, with a high ACB (⩾3) seen in 11.2% of participants. High ACB was associated with higher median number of medicines per patient (p = 0.003) higher median hospital length of stay (p = 0.033), and having mental and behavioral disorders (p < 0.001). No significant association was found between ACB and in-hospital mortality (log-rank test p = 0.26, Cox regression adjusted hazard ratio: 1.47, 95% CI: 0.335-6.453, p = 0.61). Conclusion Among adult in-patients, a significant majority (58.3%) were subjected to medications possessing anticholinergic properties, with a noteworthy 11.2% of the study subjects exhibiting a high ACB. Participants with higher median length of hospital stay were more likely to have high ACB even in this relatively younger adult patient population.

Abstract
Aim The anticholinergic properties of medications are associated with poorer cognitive performance in schizophrenia. Numerous scales have been developed to assess anticholinergic burden and yet, there is no consensus indicating which anticholinergic burden scale is more relevant for patients with schizophrenia. We aimed to identify valid scales for estimating the risk of iatrogenic cognitive impairment in schizophrenia. Methods We identified 27 scales in a literature review. The responses to neuropsychological tests of 839 individuals with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder in the FACE-SZ database were collected between 2010 and 2021. We estimated the association between objective global cognitive performance and the 27 scales, the number of psychotropic drugs, and chlorpromazine and lorazepam equivalents in bivariable regressions in a cross-sectional design. We then adjusted the bivariable models with covariates: the predictors significantly associated with cognitive performance in multiple linear regressions were considered to have good concurrent validity to assess cognitive performance. Results Eight scales, the number of psychotropic drugs, and drug equivalents were significantly associated with cognitive impairment. The number of psychotropic drugs, the most convenient predictor to compute, was associated with worse executive function (Standardized β = -0.12, p = .004) and reasoning (Standardized β = -0.08, p = .037). Conclusion Anticholinergic burden, the number of psychotropic drugs, and drug equivalents were weakly associated with cognition, thus suggesting that cognitive impairment in schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder is explained by factors other than medication. The number of psychotropic drugs was the most parsimonious method to assess the risk of iatrogenic cognitive impairment.

Abstract
Bipolar disorders (BD) are characterized by cognitive impairment during the euthymic phase, to which treatments can contribute. The anticholinergic properties of medications, i.e., the ability of a treatment to inhibit cholinergic receptors, are associated with cognitive impairment in elderly patients and people with schizophrenia but this association has not been well characterized in individuals with remitted BD. Moreover, the validity of only one anticholinergic burden scale designed to assess the anticholinergic load of medications has been tested in BD. In a literature review, we identified 31 existing scales. We first measured the associations between 27 out of the 31 scales and objective cognitive impairment in bivariable regressions. We then adjusted the bivariable models with covariates: the scales significantly associated with cognitive impairment in bivariable and multiple logistic regressions were defined as having good concurrent validity to assess cognitive impairment. In a sample of 2,031 individuals with euthymic BD evaluated with a neuropsychological battery, two scales had good concurrent validity to assess cognitive impairment, whereas chlorpromazine equivalents, lorazepam equivalents, the number of antipsychotics, or the number of treatments had not. Finally, similar analyses with subjective anticholinergic side-effects as outcome variables reported 14 scales with good concurrent validity to assess self-reported peripheral anticholinergic side-effects and 13 to assess self-reported central anticholinergic side-effects. Thus, we identified valid scales to monitor the anticholinergic burden in BD, which may be useful in estimating iatrogenic cognitive impairment in studies investigating cognition in BD.

Yaghi G, Chahine B. Potentially inappropriate medications use in a psychiatric elderly care hospital: A cross-sectional study using Beers criteria. Health Sci Rep 2023; 6:e1247. [PMID: 37234198 PMCID: PMC10206279 DOI: 10.1002/hsr2.1247] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2022] [Revised: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 04/22/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Background and Aims Potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) carry risks that outweigh any potential benefits when compared to safer or more effective alternative treatments. Adverse drug events are more likely to occur in older adults with psychiatric diseases due to multimorbidity, polypharmacy, and age-related changes in drug pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and risk factors of PIM use in an aged care hospital's psychogeriatric division, using the American Geriatrics Society Beers criteria 2019. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on all current inpatients, having a mental disorder and aged ≥65 years, in one elderly care hospital in Beirut, from March to May 2022. Medications, sociodemographic and clinical characteristics were collected from patients' medical records. PIMs were evaluated based on Beers criteria 2019. Independent variables were described using descriptive statistics. Factors associated with PIM use were identified by bivariate analysis followed by binary logistic regression. A two-sided p value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results The study included 147 patients, with a mean age of 76.3 years, 46.9% of them having schizophrenia, 68.7% using 5 or more drugs and 90.5% taking at least 1 PIM. The most prescribed PIMs were antipsychotics (40.2%), anticholinergics (16%), and antidepressants (7.8%). PIM use was significantly associated with polypharmacy (AOR = 20.88, 95% CI: 1.22-357.87, p = 0.04) and anticholinergic cognitive burden (ACB) score (AOR = 7.25, 95% CI: 1.13-46.52, p = 0.04). Conclusion PIMs were highly prevalent among hospitalized Lebanese psychiatric elderly. Polypharmacy and ACB score were the determinants of PIM use. A multidisciplinary medication review led by a clinical pharmacist could reduce PIM use.

Abstract
AIMS A recent review identified 19 anticholinergic burden scales (ABSs) but no study has yet compared the impact of all 19 ABSs on delirium. We evaluated whether a high anticholinergic burden as classified by each ABS is associated with incident delirium. METHOD We performed a retrospective cohort study in a Swiss tertiary teaching hospital using data from 2015-2018. Included were patients aged ≥65, hospitalised ≥48 hours with no stay >24 hours in intensive care. Delirium was defined twofold: (i) ICD-10 or CAM and (ii) ICD-10 or CAM or DOSS. Patients' cumulative anticholinergic burden score, calculated within 24 hours after admission, was classified using a binary (<3: low, ≥3: high burden) and a categorical approach (0: no, 0.5-3: low, ≥3: high burden). Association was analysed using multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS Over 25 000 patients (mean age 77.9 ± 7.6 years) were included. Of these, (i) 864 (3.3%) and (ii) 2770 (11.0%) developed delirium. Depending on the evaluated ABS, 4-63% of the patients were exposed to at least one anticholinergic drug. Out of 19 ABSs, (i) 14 and (ii) 16 showed a significant association with the outcomes. A patient with a high anticholinergic burden score had odds ratios (ORs) of 1.21 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-1.42) to 2.63 (95% CI: 2.28-3.03) for incident delirium compared to those with low or no burden. CONCLUSION A high anticholinergic burden within 24 hours after admission was significantly associated with incident delirium. Although prospective studies need to confirm these results, discontinuing or substituting drugs with a score of ≥3 at admission might be a targeted intervention to reduce incident delirium.
