| Meta Title | ACB Calculator |
| Meta Description | A tool for finding the ACB Score of commonly prescribed medicines, and for calculating the Anticholinergic Burden for your patient |
| Meta Canonical | null |
| Boilerpipe Text | Many of the medications that we commonly prescribe have anticholinergic properties. In patients over 65 years of age these can cause adverse events, such as confusion, dizziness and falls. These have been shown to increase patient mortality.
You can use this calculator to work out the Anticholinergic Burden for your patients; a score of 3+ is associated with an increased cognitive impairment and mortality.
Whilst there are multiple different scoring systems, the German Anticholinergic Burden score
7
and the Anticholinergic Cognitive Burden Scale
4
have been demonstrated to show most validity
and reliability
8
. Therefore, we have used a combination of these 2 scales when creating the ACB
calculator. When discrepancies arose, we opted to include the higher value in the interest of safety.

Total ACB Score:
0
High Risk
Your patient has scored âĨ3 and is therefore at a higher risk of confusion, falls and death.
Please review their medications and, if possible, discuss this with the patient and/or relatives/carers. Please consider if any of these medications could be switched to a lower-risk alternative.

Drugs with possible anticholinergic burden score 1.
Drugs with definite anticholinergic burden score 2 or 3.
If you cannot find your medication listed in the calculator, you can assume it scores 0.
