AI Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the prevalence of potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP) and potential prescribing omissions (PPOs) in patients aged 65 and older who were acutely admitted to the hospital.
- Utilizing a cohort of 798 patients, researchers analyzed medication data using established criteria to assess the relationship between PIP/PPOs and admissions related to adverse drug reactions (ADRs).
- Findings showed a significant number of patients had PIP and PPOs, but these factors were not statistically associated with ADR-related hospital admissions, although certain drug classes did increase the likelihood of such admissions.
Article Abstract
Background: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP) and potential prescribing omissions (PPOs) and their association with ADR-related hospital admissions in patients aged ≥ 65 years admitted acutely to the hospital.
Methods: Information on medications and morbidities was extracted from the Adverse Drug Reactions in an Ageing Population (ADAPT) cohort (N = 798: N = 361 ADR-related admissions; 437 non-ADR-related admissions). PIP and PPOs were assessed using Beers Criteria 2019 and STOPP/START version 2. Multivariable logistic regression (adjusted odds ratios (aOR), 95%CI) was used to examine the association between PIP, PPOs and ADR-related admissions, adjusting for covariates (age, gender, comorbidity, polypharmacy).
Results: In total, 715 (90%; 95% CI 87-92%) patients had ≥1 Beers Criteria, 555 (70%; 95% CI 66-73%) had ≥ 1 STOPP criteria and 666 patients (83%; 95% CI 81-86%) had ≥ 1 START criteria. Being prescribed at least one Beers (aOR = 1.66, 95% CI = 1.00-2.77), or meeting STOPP (aOR = 1.07, 95% CI = 0.79-1.45) or START (aOR = 0.72; 95%CI = 0.50-1.06) criteria or the number of PIP/PPO criteria met was not significantly associated with ADR-related admissions. Patients prescribed certain drug classes (e.g., antiplatelet agents, diuretics) per individual PIP criteria were more likely to have an ADR-related admission.
Conclusion: There was a high prevalence of PIP and PPOs in this cohort but no association with ADR-related admissions.

Background: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) refer to an unintended harmful reaction that occurs after the administration of a medication for therapeutic purposes, which is unrelated to the intended pharmacological action of the drug. In the United States, ADRs account for 6% of all hospital admissions annually. The cost of ADR-related illnesses in 2016 was estimated at USD 528.

Background: Older adults with dementia commonly receive multiple medications and have higher hospitalization rates, elevating the risk of potentially inappropriate prescribing and in-hospital adverse drug reactions (ADRs). There is limited evidence examining ADRs in older adults with dementia during hospitalization.
Objectives: Our aim was to assess the association between dementia and incidence of ADRs during hospitalization and to identify prevalent types of ADRs and medications linked to ADRs.
