Certain medicines are considered potentially inappropriate (PIM) for elderly people as they increase the risk of adverse drug events (ADE) and because safer alternative therapies are available on the market. In this context, in order to identify the instruments that assess the quality of medical prescriptions for elderly and to determine which drugs are considered PIM, a bibliographic survey was conducted in PUBMED, LILACS and PAHO databases, in February and March/2010. The search strategy included the use of health descriptors and a manual search in the references cited by selected papers. During the period of data collection, 15 instruments were identified. In 2012, with the publication of the update of Beers criteria, this instrument was included in the... |

As Reações Adversas a Medicamentos (RAM) podem ser responsáveis por 2,4% a 11,5% das admissões hospitalares. O estudo objetivou conhecer o perfil demográfico dos pacientes internados por possíveis RAM, identificar os medicamentos e as queixas mais freqüentemente relacionadas e estimar a incidência de admissão hospitalar pelo uso de medicamentos. Durante um mês, os pacientes internados em um hospital geral foram entrevistados quanto ao uso de medicamentos antes da internação e as queixas que o levaram ao hospital; as informações foram analisadas, usando-se a base de dados MICROMEDEX® e outras bases oficiais. Observou-se que as admissões por uso de medicamentos ocorreram predominantemente em idosos [47,5% (66/139)] e mulheres [62% (87/139)]. Os medicamentos... |

The present study aimed to estimate the prevalence of elderly using potentially inappropriate medications (PIM) and with occurrence of potentially hazardous drug interactions (PHDI); to identify the risk factors for the prescription of PIM and to evaluate the impact of pharmaceutical intervention (PI) for the prescription of safer therapeutic alternatives. Therefore, a cross-sectional study was performed in a long-term care facility in São Paulo State, between December/2010 and January/2011. The medical records of the patients >60 years old who took any drugs were consulted to assess the pharmacotherapeutic safety of the medical prescriptions, in order to identify PIM and PHDI, according to the Beers (2003) and World Health Organization criteria,... |
