Abstract
Impaired cognitive function poses a major concern for elderly patients, with age-related cholinergic deficit likely contributing to cognitive decline. Nevertheless, the cause of cognitive impairment in elderly patients is mostly multifactorial, with drug-induced adverse events also a possible etiologic factor. Benzodiazepines, opioids, tricyclic antidepressants, and anticholinergic drugs all have been implicated in the development of cognitive impairment.
