Low‐Dose Trazodone, Benzodiazepines, and Fall‐Related Injuries in Nursing Homes: A Matched‐Cohort Study

Abstract

New use of low-dose trazodone was no safer with respect to a risk of a fall-related injury than new use of benzodiazepines. Additional studies to compare the effectiveness and risks of low-dose trazodone with those of a variety of psychotropic drug therapies are required in light of increasing trends in the use of trazodone in NHs.
