Updated 2014 STOPP criteria to identify potentially inappropriate prescribing in community-dwelling elderly patients . 2017

María Luisa Nicieza-Garcia, and Gloria Manso, and Esther Salgueiro

OBJECTIVE To analyze potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP) using the 2014 version of STOPP criteria. METHODS Prescriptions were analyzed by using invoicing data and electronic medical records. RESULTS At least one STOPP criterion was observed in 9 out of every 10 patients. The most common STOPP criteria found were: "any drug prescribed without an evidence-based clinical indication" and "any drug prescribed beyond the recommended duration, where treatment duration is well defined". CONCLUSIONS The high prevalence of PIP found seems to be due to the inclusion of new criteria related to indication of medication and duration of treatments. .
