- The Anticholinergic Drug Scale as a Measure of Drug‐Related Anticholinergic Burden: Associations With Serum Anticholinergic Activity (2006, background): “The importance of this use has been emphasized in the most recent Beers list of drugs which experts consider potentially inappropriate for prescribing to the elderly.(8) The expert panel suggested that anticholinergics should be avoided in patients with cognitive impairment.”
