Potentially Inappropriate Prescribing Identified Using STOPP/START Version 3 in Geriatric Patients and Comparison with Version 2: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Multimorbidity, polypharmacy, and inappropriate prescribing are significant challenges in the geriatric population. Tools such as the Beers List, FORTA, and STOPP/START criteria have been developed to identify potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP). STOPP/START criteria detect both potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) and potential prescribing omissions (PPOs).
