Correlation between anticholinergic and sedative drug burden and Mini-Mental State Examination
Résumé
Drug Burden Index (DBI) is an index to determine
burden of anticholinergic and sedative medications. The increased
DBI is associated with lower physical performance among elderly
patients. Our objectives were to describe the characteristics of
patients followed in memory center and to examine the impact
of DBI on Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)
