Updated 2014 STOPP criteria to identify potentially inappropriate prescribing in community-dwelling elderly patients .
OBJECTIVE: To analyze potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP) using the 2014 version of STOPP criteria.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Prescriptions were analyzed by using invoicing data and electronic medical records.
RESULTS: At least one STOPP criterion was observed in 9 out of every 10 patients. The most common STOPP criteria found were: "any drug prescribed without an evidence-based clinical indication" and "any drug prescribed beyond the recommended duration, where treatment duration is well defined".
CONCLUSION: The high prevalence of PIP found seems to be due to the inclusion of new criteria related to indication of medication and duration of treatments. .
