Sedative Medication Use in Danish Nursing Homes by markgorgon640 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study examines the use of sedating medications among nursing home residents in Denmark around the time of admission. It found that while the proportion of unique users of sedating medications remained similar before and after admission, total use increased significantly, peaking one month post-admission. Mirtazapine/mianserin was the most commonly initiated sedative, highlighting the need for rational medication use in nursing homes due to potential adverse effects.
