Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated whether Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI) prescriptions in hospitalized patients followed Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) at two academic hospitals in Lima.
- Over 54% of PPI prescriptions were not aligned with CPG, particularly in the General Surgery department where 83.6% were inappropriate.
- The primary valid reason for PPI use in line with CPG was the prevention of NSAID-induced gastric ulcers in elderly patients (65.72%).
