Summary

Acquired brain injury (ABI), primarily caused by stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI), leads to severe disabilities and requires complex pharmacological management during post-acute rehabilitation. The lack of dedicated guidelines and regular treatment re-evaluation increases the risk of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Retrospective, bicentric study in two rehabilitation centers in Normandy, France, from November 1, 2020, to October 31, 2023, to describe prescription patterns of antidepressants, antiepileptics, and analgesics, as well as potential drug-related complications.
