The differences in CNS-active medication use change over 12 months between those with and without fall-related injury were small and unlikely to be clinically significant. These results suggest that fall risk-increasing drug use is not reduced following a fall-related injury, thus opportunities exist to reduce CNS-active medications, a potentially modifiable risk factor for falls.
