Deprescribing, the intentional withdrawal of inappropriate medications, has been proposed as a promising approach to reduce polypharmacy\u2010related harms. Examining current deprescribing interventions in RACFs would help identify gaps in research knowledge. The aim of this scoping review was to synthesise the current literature, describe the current knowledge gaps and future research priorities that the authors identified.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO and AgeLine were searched according to the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines for scoping reviews from inception until February 2024 to identify relevant studies published in the English language.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the 2244 articles screened, 13 studies (total of 133,150 RACF residents across Australia) were identified examining deprescribing interventions. Six studies were controlled trials and seven studies were observational studies. There were six pharmacist\u2010led interventions, five multidisciplinary team\u2010led interventions and two physician\u2010led interventions. Main themes discussed included as follows: multidisciplinary care, education for health\u2010care professionals, refining outcome measures, overcoming system issues and research logistics. The most commonly targeted medications in the included studies were psychotropics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Deprescribing is an important intervention for RACF residents but more research into translating evidence into clinically meaningful outcomes is needed. Successful studies typically involved multidisciplinary interventions, had an educational component, followed\u2010up longitudinally with residents and carers and involved stakeholders, such as nurses. The economic impacts of deprescribing in this cohort are poorly understood.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ajag.13415","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,22]],"date-time":"2025-02-22T03:11:42Z","timestamp":1740193902000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Deprescribing in Australian residential aged care facilities: A scoping review"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"44","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-3876-1978","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jenny Xinyu","family":"Liang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Aged and Rehabilitation Services, Kingston Centre Monash Health  Cheltenham Victoria Australia"},{"name":"Monash Ageing Research Centre, School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health Monash University  Clayton Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Louise","family":"Thai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Calvary Health Care Bethlehem  Caulfield South Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Madeleine","family":"Healy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aged and Rehabilitation Services, Kingston Centre Monash Health  Cheltenham Victoria Australia"},{"name":"Monash Ageing Research Centre, School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health Monash University  Clayton Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adam Mohd","family":"Idris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aged and Rehabilitation Services, Kingston Centre Monash Health  Cheltenham Victoria Australia"},{"name":"Monash Ageing Research Centre, School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health Monash University  Clayton Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jian Wey","family":"Chin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Aged and Rehabilitation Services, Kingston Centre Monash Health  Cheltenham Victoria Australia"},{"name":"Monash Ageing Research Centre, School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health Monash University  Clayton Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christopher","family":"Grossman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Calvary Health Care Bethlehem  Caulfield South Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jclinepi.2012.02.018"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1517\/14740338.2013.827660"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/14740338.2018.1546841"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","unstructured":"Quality use of medicines to optimise ageing in older Australians: recommendations for a National Strategic Action Plan to reduce inappropriate polypharmacy.2018.
