Conditional logistic regression adjusted for race; ethnicity; cognitive function; walking aid use; vision impairment; wandering; Parkinson’s disease; urinary incontinence; Charlson Comorbidity Index (excluding dementia); other medications that may increase risk of falls, fracture, or syncope (non–serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor, or tricyclic antidepressants; peripheral alpha-blockers; skeletal muscle relaxants; oral glucocorticoids); number of medications at baseline (excluding antidepressants, antiepileptics, antipsychotics, benzodiazepine receptor agonists, opioid receptor agonists, peripheral alpha blockers, skeletal muscle relaxants, acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, topical agents for the skin, multivitamins, laxatives, antidiarrheals); and CNS medication indications (anxiety, depression, seizure disorder, moderate/severe, dementia medications)
