Few studies have investigated potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) use in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). The aim of our study was to assess the prevalence of PIM in community-dwelling patients diagnosed with mild-to-moderate AD and identify the clinical factors associated with PIM prescriptions. |
