The quantitative analysis showed that these two studies showed a statistically significant impact of deprescribing on the number of patient falls (OR 0.67; 95% CI [0.46, 0.98] I 2 = 0%, p = 0.04, Figure 2).
Contexto
What changed: Primary care deprescribing interventions (such as collaborative medication reviews) aimed at discontinuing inappropriate medications among older adults. Comparison: Usual care or non-deprescribing control groups in randomized controlled trials. Limits: Quantitative synthesis pooled only two trials with unstated pooled sample size, though between-study heterogeneity was zero.
