INTERPRETING THE SCORE

  • Consider reviewing all individual drugs with an AEC score of 2 or above to see whether they can either be withdrawn or switched to a drug with a lower AEC score (preferably 0).
  • The individual AEC scores of drugs are added together for each patient so as to calculate the total AEC score.
  • Consider carrying out a medication review for all patients with a total AEC score of 3 or above to see whether the total AEC score can be reduced to the minimum possible.
  • Note that some drugs may have an AEC score of 0 but can still cause cognitive impairment through other pharmacological mechanisms.
  • Note that drug dosage is not taken into account when using this scale.
