Resumen en ingles
The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of Potentially Inappropriate Medication (PIM)
use and associated factors, as well as the prevalence of Prescribing Omissions (PO). A cross-sectional
study was conducted in a philanthropic Brazilian nursing home involving 46 individuals aged 60 years
or older. The following information was collected from medical records and drug prescriptions: gender,
age, health conditions and drugs used in the past thirty days. PIM and PO were identified according to the
Beers’Criteria and the STOPP/START screening tools. Over one third (37%) of the population used at least
one PIM according to the Beers’ Criteria (n=17) and 60.9% according to the STOPP tool. A significant
association was found between polypharmacy (use of five or more drugs) and use of PIM according
to the Beers’ Criteria, but not according to the STOPP. Eight residents (17.4%) were exposed to eight
PO. This study allowed the diagnosis of a concerning drug utilization profile with use of a high number
of PIMs. Thus, there is an evident need to implement strategies for improving geriatric prescription
