Medicine data

Detailed prescription data were obtained from the Shared Medicine Record8 at baseline, immediately after the visit, and 4 and 13 months after the visit. The following medicines were excluded when tallying the number of different medicines during inclusion and were not registered during the trial: Topical treatments (such as eye drops, ear drops, and creams), antibiotics with limited treatment duration, multivitamins, and protein drinks. The data collected for each medicine included product name, dosage, and any changes to the medicine at the specified time points. When available, the reasons for the medicine changes were obtained from the physician’s note in the electronic medical record.
