Resumen
SANCHEZ SANCHEZ, Néstor J et al. Potentially inappropriate prescription in cardiovascular pathology in elderly patients in primary care. Gerokomos [online]. 2021, vol.32, n.3, pp.164-167. Epub 25-Oct-2021. ISSN 1134-928X.
Objective:
To study potentially inappropriate prescriptions and prescription omissions in cardiovascular pathology in primary care in patients older than 65 years old.
Methodology:
Descriptive cross-sectional study in an urban primary health center using version 2 of STOPP-START criteria.
Results:
170 patients included, 62.4% women, overage 79 years old, there were 15.3% potentially inappropriate prescriptions and 8.8% prescription omissions. 72.9% had more than 4 diseases and 57.1% took more than 4 drugs. The more diseases, the more consumption of drugs, without relation between potentially inappropriate prescriptions and the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of the patients.
Conclusions:
STOPP-START criteria are useful for reviewing prescription in people over 65 with cardiovascular disease among their pluripatology.
