Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

OBJECTIVE: To provide primary care physicians with an approach to medication optimization in older adults with cognitive impairment. SOURCES OF INFORMATION: The approach is based on an accredited memory clinic training program developed by the Centre for Family Medicine Primary Care Collaborative Memory Clinic. MAIN MESSAGE: Dementia increases the risk of medication-related adverse events and adds to the complexity and challenge of providing optimal care for these older adults. Considerations include medication adherence, appropriate therapeutic targets for comorbid conditions, minimized use of medications with potentially adverse cognitive effects, and rational use and monitoring of cognition-enhancing drugs. Medication management plans must be individualized and based on goals of care. CONCLUSION: Primary care physicians must consider many factors in optimizing medications for those with cognitive impairment.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
