Association of Coprescribing of Gabapentinoid and Other Psychoactive Medications With Altered Mental Status and Falls in Adults Receiving Dialysis

Prescribing psychoactive medications for patients with kidney disease is common, but for patients receiving dialysis some medications may be inappropriate. We evaluated the association of coprescribing gabapentinoids and other psychoactive potentially inappropriate medications (PPIMs) (eg, sedatives or opioids) with altered mental status (AMS) and falls and whether the associations are modified by frailty.
