Study Summary

This trial compares two approaches to care for older patients to measure changes in medications, treatment burden, and shared decision making. It also looks at the impact of medication changes and communication approaches on health outcomes.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for people with dementia (like Alzheimer's) who have it listed in their medical records, are still somewhat independent (FAST score ≤5), have at least two other chronic conditions, take five or more medications regularly, and have a caregiver involved in their care. People with severe dementia (FAST score >5), major sensory impairments, or whose caregivers can't participate are excluded.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares patient priorities care (PPC) to usual care (UC). It looks at how these approaches affect medication changes after doctor visits, the burden of treatment on patients and shared decision-making. The study also explores how PPC participants make sense of deprescribing decisions based on health priorities and tracks any negative effects from stopping drugs.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

While not traditional side effects as seen with medications, this trial monitors adverse drug withdrawal events which could include symptoms like mood swings, sleep disturbances or physical discomfort that might occur when reducing or stopping certain medications.
