Prevalence and influencing factors of potentially inappropriate medication in elderly outpatients: analysis of 34 886 cases
To retrospectively analyze potential inappropriate medication (PIM) and its influencing factors among elderly outpatients in order to improve the rational drug use for them.
Methods
2
The elderly outpatients (≥65 years old) admitted in our hospital from November 1 to December 30
2019 were enrolled in this study. Their PIMs were evaluated according to the Beers Criteria of the American Geriatric Association 2019. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of PIM.
Results
2
he prescriptions of 34 886 cases were collected in the analysis. They were 17 162 males and 17 724 females
at an age of 72.55±6.53 years
and had a number of comorbidities of 2.56±1.65 and took 3.34±2.03 kinds of drugs for each patient. According to the 2019 Beers criteria
the incidence of PIM was 16.4% (5 721/34 886)
involving 6 958 times of PIM in 5 721 cases. The top 3 drugs were compound hypotensor (19.09%
1 328/6 958)
sulfonylureas (11.27%
784/6 958) and benzodiazepines (10.82%
753/6 958). The PIM incidence distributed in the departments of neurology
geriatrics
endocrinology
cardiology and traditional medicine and rheumatology. Logistic regression analysis showed that age (≥75 years)
number of medications (≥5)
number of comorbidities (5~9) and prescriptions containing compound preparations were independent risk factors for PIM (
P
<
0.001).
Conclusion
2
According to the 2019 Beers criteria
the incidence of PIM is relatively high in elderly outpatients
so rational drug use needs to be improved in clinical practice. Combination of various drugs is the most important risk factors of PIM
and should be paid attention by clinicians and pharmacists.
