This randomized controlled pragmatic pilot study examines the feasibility and acceptability of a population health-based deprescribing intervention that leverages a polypharmacy risk prediction model. It includes four arms (2 intervention and 2 control arms) and uses a parallel arm study design.
This pilot clinical trial will examine the feasibility and acceptability of a medication management intervention that uses risk stratification to identify older adults (including older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment or Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias) at greatest risk for polypharmacy-related adverse events. The intervention will use a risk prediction model to identify potential study participants for inclusion and enroll them and their care partners into a polypharmacy clinic. The study will stratify patients by cognitive impairment status. The risk prediction model includes variables such as: age, sex, recent healthcare encounters, current and past medications, current and past lab tests, current and past diagnoses.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Patient-tailored deprescribing assessment and intervention (MCI and Dementia diagnosis) | Experimental | Patients are identified for enrollment via a risk prediction model and enrolled in a pharmacist-led polypharmacy clinic. The pharmacist will conduct a comprehensive medication review, which will include: medication reconciliation, assessment of patient risk factors, identification of potentially inappropriate medications, identification of potential prescribing omissions, shared decision-making with the patient and/or caregiver, and confirmation of the results with the prescriber. Once the prescriber has approved the recommendations, the pharmacist will make the appropriate changes to the medication regimen, will provide tailored medication education and counseling and will follow-up with the patient at least once per month to assess side effects, adverse effects, and provide support. This arm specifically includes only patients with a diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) at enrollment. |
|
| Usual care (MCI and Dementia diagnosis) | No Intervention | Patients in the comparator arm will see their primary care clinician as needed. This arm specifically includes patients with a diagnoses of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) at enrollment. | |
| Patient-tailored deprescribing assessment and intervention (no MCI and Dementia diagnosis) | Experimental | Patients are identified for enrollment via a risk prediction model and enrolled in a pharmacist-led polypharmacy clinic. The pharmacist will conduct a comprehensive medication review, which will include: medication reconciliation, assessment of patient risk factors, identification of potentially inappropriate medications, identification of potential prescribing omissions, shared decision-making with the patient and/or caregiver, and confirmation of the results with the prescriber. Once the prescriber has approved the recommendations, the pharmacist will make the appropriate changes to the medication regimen, will provide tailored medication education and counseling and will follow-up with the patient at least once per month to assess side effects, adverse effects, and provide support. This arm specifically includes only patients with NO diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) at enrollment. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Patient-tailored deprescribing assessment and intervention | Behavioral | Patients are identified for enrollment via a risk prediction model and enrolled in a pharmacist-led polypharmacy clinic. The pharmacist will conduct a comprehensive medication review, which will include: medication reconciliation, assessment of patient risk factors (clinical, socioeconomic), identification of potentially inappropriate medications, identification of potential prescribing omissions, shared decision-making with the patient and/or caregiver, and confirmation of the results of the comprehensive medication review with the primary care clinician. Once the primary care clinician has approved the recommendations, the pharmacist will make the appropriate changes to the medication regimen, will provide tailored medication education and counseling (including Motivational Interviewing) and will follow-up with the patient at least once per month via video visit or phone to assess side effects, adverse effects, and provide support. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |

| Usual care (no MCI and Dementia diagnosis) | No Intervention | Patients in the comparator arm will see their primary care clinician as needed.

Use of any potentially inappropriate medications, defined by the 2019 Beers Criteria Tables 2 and 7 |
| Baseline, 12 months |
| Number of medications with a dose reduction >10% over 12 months | We will sum up the number of medications where the study participant has achieved at >10% dose reduction compared to baseline for each study participant at baseline and 12 months in both study arms. | 12 months |
| Number of medications discontinued for 90 days or more which are re-prescribed | We will sum up the number of medications where the study participant has had any re-prescription of medications which were discontinued for 90 days or more by 12 months in all study arms. | Baseline, 12 months |
| Number of times per day the patient is taking medications | Each study participant will be coded on a continuous scale the number of times a day medications are taken based on the prescription instructions at baseline and 12 months in all study arms. | Baseline, 12 months |
| Number of potential prescribing omissions (PPOs) based on the STOPP/START criteria | Number of potential prescribing omissions (PPOs) based on the STOPP/START criteria | 12 months |
| Number of drug-related problems | We will compare the total number of drug-related problems (identified retrospectively by a pharmacist) at baseline and 12 months. | Baseline, 12 months |
| Number of potential pharmacy recommendations | We will compare the total number of potential pharmacist recommendations (identified retrospectively by a pharmacist) at baseline and 12 months. | Baseline, 12 months |
| Change in risk prediction model score | Each study participant's information will be run through the risk prediction model at the end of the study to see if there is a meaningful change (10% or more change) in the risk prediction score from baseline to the end of the study period. | 12 months |
