Prescription cascades associated with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors use: a high-throughput sequence symmetry analysis.

Background Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs), are commonly prescribed for dementia and can cause adverse drug events that may lead to new prescriptions, known as prescription cascades. We aimed to identify potential AChEI-induced prescription cascades using high-throughput sequence symmetry a...
