Abstract
To determine the association between benzodiazepine exposure and functional status in older patients. A nonexperimental, observational study design. Kaiser Permanente, Northwest Division, a health maintenance organization (HMO) providing prepaid, comprehensive inpatient and outpatient care for more than 410,000 persons.

Severe memory loss, stroke, Parkinson's disease, circulation problems, lung problems, hip fracture, urinary problems, arthritis, heart trouble, diabetes, stomach/bowel problems, and cancer were associated independently with functional status. Persons exposed to a benzodiazepine scored lower on the functional status measure. Benzodiazepine exposure added significantly to the prediction of functional status after controlling for patients' socio-demo...Continue Reading
