Attitude towards deprescribing and its association with frailty and complexity of medication regimen: A survey of older inpatients in a district health board in New Zealand.

Most older inpatients wanted to be involved in decision-making about their medications and were willing to stop one or more medications if proposed by their prescriber. Medication complexity and frailty status influence patients' attitudes toward deprescribing and thus should be taken into consideration when making deprescribing decisions. Further research is needed to investigate the relationship between frailty and the complexity of medication regimens.
