Deprescribing anticholinergics—Why clinical significance matters more than p ‐values

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: While statistical superiority was not demonstrated, reductions in anticholinergic use and drug burden are clinically relevant.The true impact of such interventions must be judged not solely by p-values but by their capacity to prevent harm and improve lives.For vulnerable older adults, even small steps away from harmful drug exposure are steps worth taking.
