Factors associated to potentially inappropriate prescribing in older patients according to STOPP/START criteria: MoPIM multicentre cohort study

Marisa Bare et al.

Summary: The objectives of this study were to estimate the frequency of potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP) at admission according to STOPP/START criteria in older patients hospitalized due to chronic disease exacerbation, and to identify risk factors associated with the most frequent inappropriate medications (PIMs). The study found that PIPs were highly prevalent in these patients, especially those involving proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and benzodiazepines (BZDs).

Potentially Inappropriate Medications in Nursing Home Residents: A Comparison of Two Approaches

Marko Stojanovic et al.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness of the Beers criteria and the EU(7)-PIM list in detecting potentially inappropriate medications in the geriatric population, finding that the EU(7)-PIM list detected more PIMs. The number of detected PIMs correlated with age, the number of chronic illnesses, the number of medication prescribed, and the comorbidity status.

Prevalence and Associated Factors of Polypharmacy in Nursing Home Residents: A Cross-Sectional Study

Raquel Cadenas et al.

Summary: A study in a nursing home in the province of Leon, Spain, revealed a high level of drug consumption, with 54.9% of residents on polypharmacy, particularly focusing on those with recent contact with general practitioners. There is a need for comprehensive monitoring system to evaluate the quality of prescriptions for nursing home residents.

Potentially inappropriate medication use in elderly patients treated in intensive care units: A cross-sectional study using 2019 Beers, STOPP/v2 Criteria and EU(7)-PIM List

Ferhan Demirer Aydemir et al.

Summary: The prevalence of Potentially Inappropriate Medication (PIM) was found to be higher in elderly patients in ICU. Reducing the number of drugs administered may be the first step to decrease PIMs in this population and to maintain treatment safety. The 2019 Beers Criteria seemed to be more effective in detecting PIMs and determining prognosis in ICU patients.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) use and drug-drug interactions (DDIs) in older adults in South Korea, finding that polypharmacy, mainly visiting surgeons or neurologists/psychiatrists were associated with a higher likelihood of prescriptions associated with PIM use or DDIs, while older age, high continuity of care (COC), and mainly visiting a hospital were associated with a lower likelihood of PIM use or DDIs.
