Extended Drug Burden Score (eDBS) - Medscope
Extended drug Burden Score (eDBS) Medscope has implemented a system for calculating the combined sedative and anticholinergic drug Burden of each patient s medication regimen. The system uses available anticholinergic and sedative ratings for commonly used agents and calculates a total Burden based on each patient s daily dose of the relevant medications. The resulting Extended drug Burden Score (EDBS) provides some indication of the possible impact that the psychoactive medications may have on the patient. Medscope provides a summary of the potential impact and the details of the agents involved. What the scores mean: eDBS between 0 and : This patient is taking one or more centrally acting agents and is at some risk of interference with cognition, balance/mobility and functional status.
