RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Drug-related problems can be caused by potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP), one of the most used tools for its identification are the STOPP (Older Persons' potentially inappropriate Prescriptions) - START (Screening Tool to Alert doctors to Right Treatment) criteria. The objective of this study is to determine PIP in older adults who receive pharmaceutical care in the Pharmacotherapy Optimization Unit (POU)-Rosario. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Pharmacoepidemiological observational study, which evaluates the quality of medication use. Workplace: POU-Rosario. Population under study: adults over 60 years of age, who received pharmacotherapy follow-up during the period March 2017 to February 2018. PIPs were identified using the STOPP-START criteria, 2014 version; selecting the most appropriate criteria to assess outpatient pharmacotherapy. Prevalence of PIP and amount of PIP per active principle were estimated. RESULTS: 50 patients older than 60 years received pharmacotherapy follow-up in the POU; 47 patients (94.0%) had at least one PIP corresponding to a STOPP criterion; 17 STOPP criteria were found among the 41 initially selected, leading to 145 PIPs identified. And 7 START criteria among the 11 initially selected, leading to 50 PIPs identified. Medications with a higher amount of PIPs: benzodiazepines and proton pump inhibitors. CONCLUSIONS: This study allowed the identification of a high prevalence of PIP. The data obtained show the usefulness of these criteria. The STOPP-START criteria have been included to support decision making during pharmacotherapy follow-up to propose pharmaceutical interventions, in order to enhance pharmacotherapy. These activities contribute to patient safety, a dimension of health quality.
