Abbreviations: NR: Not Reported, ADEs = Adverse Drug Events, SAEs = Serious Adverse Events, HAM-A: Mean Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale.
a Deprescribed of those considered to have potentially inappropriate medication which were 323 participants in the intervention group, and 406 participants in the control group.
b ADEs reported overall regardless of the drug class deprescribed: intervention: 111/2,247 (4.9%) and control: 138/2,742 (5.0%). SAEs: post-discharge deaths and hospitalisations in the intervention group – 371/2247 (16.5%) and control group 590/2742 (21.5%).
c Overall pain outcomes did not change pre/post intervention (Visual Analogue Scale out of 100mm; Intervention: 60mm (Range: 50-75mm); Control: 60mm (Range: 50-75mm)).
d Overall quality of life outcomes did not change pre/post intervention ((EQ-5D-5L; Intervention: 0.722 (95%CI 0.406 to 0.871); Control: 0.743 (95%CI 0.425 to 0.871)).
