Association of Pharmacist-led Deprescribing Intervention with the Functional Recovery in Convalescent Setting

So far, no studies investigated the association between pharmacist intervention and rehabilitation outcomes. The aim of study was to establish whether the pharmacist-led deprescribing intervention affects rehabilitation outcomes. This retrospective, observational, single-center, cohort study included consecutive geriatric patients (n = 448) with pharmacist-led intervention between 2017 and 2019. Participants were divided based on pharmacist-led deprescribing and non deprescribing interventions during hospitalization. Demographic data, laboratory data, the Functional Independence Measure were (FIM) analyzed between the groups. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to analyze the relationship between pharmacist-led deprescribing and FIM total gain. The primary outcome was FIM total gain. The rate of pharmacist intervention during the study period was 92.4%. A multiple linear regression analysis of FMI-T gain, adjusting for confounding factors, revealed that the pharmacist-led deprescribing intervention was independently correlated with FMI-T gain. Particularly, the use of dyslipidemia drugs, antipsychotic drugs, hypnotics, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs significantly decreased during hospitalization. The pharmacist-led deprescribing intervention was independently and significantly associated with FIM-T gain. The pharmacist-led deprescribing intervention improved functional recovery in a rehabilitation setting.
