Trajectories of Benzodiazepine Use among Older Adults from a Concordance-with-Guidelines Perspective: A Nationwide Cohort Study.

Concordance with guidelines varied over time during benzodiazepine use in older adults. A third of these adults will hypothetically follow one of the identified non-guideline-concordant trajectories, consisting of initial and/or late non-guideline concordance. This was associated with modifiable and nonmodifiable factors that clinicians should be aware of for tailoring the monitoring of patients.
