Prescriptions médicamenteuses potentiellement inappropriées en gériatrie : quels outils utiliser pour les détecter ?

Fourteen lists of explicit indicators were included in the review. An organization based on physiological systems and pathologies, as observed in ACOVE, 5th version of Beers criteria and STOPP/START enables quick application in general practice. A low overlap among criteria was observed between tools. This may be due to a lack of completeness for some tools. Mimica, ACOVE, PIEA, and STOPP/START are the most exhaustive ones, only the last three addressing the under-prescription issue. Finally, the ability to detect and reduce inappropriate prescriptions has only been evaluated for few tools; STOPP/START is the only one, which has demonstrated its ability to reduce them in a prospective study.GlossaireEIMévènements indésirables liés aux médicamentsPMIprescriptions médicamenteuses inappropriéesPLMproblèmes liés aux médicamentsAINSanti-inflammatoires non-stéroïdiensACOVEassessing care of vunerable eldersSTOPP/STARTscreening tool of older persons' prescriptions/screening tool to alert (doctors) to right treatmentPIEAprescribing indicators in elderly AustraliansRAND/UCLAméthode « Rand appropriateness method » de la Rand Corporation et l'université de Californie de Los AngelesNORGEPthe Norwegian General Practice
