Abstract

INTRODUCTIONDeprescribing is the planned and supervised process of stopping a medication when that medication may no longer be necessary, is causing more harm than good or does not align with a person's healthcare goals and treatment preferences. There has been an explosion of deprescribing research published over the last 10 years. Researchers in the field have been doing everything from evaluating deprescribing rates in usual care to studying barriers and facilitators around establishing deprescribing in routine clinical practice. More recently, interventions specifically designed to intervene on major determinants of deprescribing have been developed and tested. For someone new to the field (e.g., researchers new to the field, trainees or clinicians interested in learning more about deprescribing research), it might be difficult to know where to begin in order to gain a solid grasp of the deprescribing literature.At the 1st International Conference on Deprescribing, held in Denmark in September 2022, this author group discussed which deprescribing articles represented work that collectively provides a diverse overview of the field for newcomers.
