anticholinergic cognitive burden scale

What is the Anticholinergic Cognitive Burden Scale?

The Anticholinergic Cognitive Burden (ACB) scale is a tool used to quantify the cumulative impact of medications with anticholinergic properties on cognitive function. These drugs can block the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, impacting various bodily functions, including cognitive processes. The ACB scale assigns a score to each medication based on its anticholinergic activity, with higher scores indicating a greater potential for cognitive impairment.
