AIM: The purpose of the present study was to clarify the association of pneumonia admission with polypharmacy and specific drug use in community-dwelling older people.

METHODS: Using health insurance and long-term care insurance data from Kure city in Japan, we retrospectively collected data for older community-dwelling people (aged ≥65 years) from April 2017 to March 2019. The outcome was pneumonia admission. We carried out multivariate logistic regression analysis to identify the association of pneumonia admission with polypharmacy (≥5 drugs), the use of psychotropic drugs or anticholinergics with adjustment for patient backgrounds, such as comorbidity, and the daily life independence level for the older people with disability.

RESULTS: Of 59 040 older people, 4017 (6.8%) participants were admitted for pneumonia in 2 years. The ratio of polypharmacy, and the use of psychotropic drugs and anticholinergics in the admission group were significantly higher than the non-admission group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that polypharmacy (odds ratio 1.29, 95% confidence interval 1.18-1.41), and the use of conventional antipsychotic drugs (odds ratio 1.39, 95% confidence interval 1.02-1.90), atypical antipsychotic drugs (odds ratio 1.67, 95% confidence interval 1.37-2.05) and anticholinergics (odds ratio 1.22, 95% confidence interval 1.13-1.33) were significantly associated with pneumonia admission.

CONCLUSION: The present results suggest that polypharmacy, and the use of psychotropic drugs and anticholinergics are risk factors for pneumonia admission. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2024; 24: 404-409.
