Article Synopsis
- - The study compared the prevalence of potentially inappropriate drug prescriptions between hemodialysis patients and those with chronic kidney disease not requiring renal replacement therapy, using the 2015 AGS Beers criteria to determine appropriateness.
- - Conducted in Serbia, the research included 218 patients aged 65 and older, finding that about one-third in both groups had potentially inappropriate prescriptions, with no significant difference between the two groups (32.5% vs. 32.6%).
- - Key factors contributing to inappropriate prescribing included the number of medications and comorbidities; for hemodialysis patients, both factors were important, while only the number of drugs influenced patients without renal replacement therapy.
