What was done? Why was done? Through three different tools, we identified which drugs classified as Potentially Some medicines are described as PIM for older patients. At least one PIM is Inappropriate Medication (PIM) are present in the National Hospital Formulary regularly prescribed between 25% to 56% in hospitalized elderlies1 and have of Medicines (FHNM). Information on the Summary of Product Characteristics been associated to adverse drug reactions (ADR) in this population. ADR are (SmPC) about precautions and special conditions of use in elderly patients was responsible for 6–17% of all hospital admissions in older adults2. verified too. How was it done? For all medicines included in: For each PIM found in the FHNM, the SmPC was analyzed to check the recommendations A search on the Portuguese FHNM, through the website of National Medicines and Health made for older patients. Products Authority (INFARMED, I.P.) was made. September 2019 What was achieved? ATC Group FHNM 181 Version 2 of the STOPP criteria 242 chemical A C 136 EU(7)-PIM List N susbtances as PIMs Alimentary Tract Cardiovascular Nervous System By at least one of the three tools. and Metabolism System 64 2019 Beers criteria 15% 27% 23% About 17% of identified PIMs were present in all of these tools. The SmPC of 36% of the identified PIMs do not have special recommendations or precautions for older patients use! What is next? The identification of PIMs by hospital pharmacists, using adequate tools, is essential in order to contribute to the reduction of drug related problems in older patients. Therefore, the next step involves the implementation of clinical decision support systems that could help prescribing physicians to reduce the consumption of PIMs. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: Project APIMedOlder [PTDC/MED-FAR/31598/2017], supported by the operational program of competitiveness and References internationalization (POCI), in its FEDER/FNR component POCI-01-0145-FEDER-031598, and the Foundation for Science and Technology, in its state budget component (OE).
