| Abstract: | ABSTRACT Objective: This study aimed to assess the prescribing pattern and frequency of potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) in geriatrics based on the AGS Beers Criteria 2019. Methods: With an aim to Contributing to elderly healthcare improvement, a six-month prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in a tertiary healthcare center from May to October 2022. The sample included 108 hospitalized patients, regardless of gender, each prescribed at least one medicine. Using the AGS Beers Criteria as a reference, the study team extracted information from patient records for prescription analysis, and the collected data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Results: Among the 108 participants, 61.11% were men, and 38.89% were women, with the majority (45.37%) in the 65-69 age group. Of the 815 medications examined, 10.67% were potentially inappropriate. There were 56.32%, 0%, 33.33%, 1.15%, and 9.2% PIMs in Category I, II, III, IV, and V of Beer’s criteria respectively. Insulin, Glimepiride, and Furosemide was the most frequently prescribed PIMs.. Logistic regression revealed a significant association between the likelihood of prescribing PIMs with the number of comorbidities (OR: 0.042, 95% CI: 1.018 to 2.827, p=0.42) and the number of drugs (OR: 1.204, 95% CI: 1.015 to 1.429, p=0.33). Conclusion: This study emphasizes the need for vigilance in prescription practices for geriatric patients. Identifying commonly prescribed PIMs and re-evaluating them, considering co-morbidities and the number of drugs prescribed, are crucial steps to enhance appropriateness and quality of care for geriatric patients. |
