Medication screening using Beers and STOPP/START criteria for elderly patients: Association between potentially inappropriate medication and medication-related hospital admissions
OBJECTIVE To assess the risk of medication-related hospital admissions associated with inappropriate medication use applying the Beers and the STOPP/START criteria. There are multiple screening methods to detect and reduce potentially inappropriate medication [PIM] and prescribing omissions (PPOs). Whether this will result in less medication-related hospitalisations is unknown. DESIGN A nested case-control study was conducted with a subset of patients of the Hospital Admissions Related to Medication (HARM) study. METHODS Cases were defined as patients ≥65 years with a potentially preventable medication-related hospital admission. For each case one control was selected, matched on age and sex. The primary determinant was defined as the presence of one or more PlMs and/or PPOs according to the Beers 2012 and the STOPP/START criteria. The strength of the association between a PIM/PPO and a medication-related hospital admission was evaluated with multivariate logistic regression and expressed as odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (Cl95). RESULTS PlMs and PPOs detected with the STOPP/START criteria are associated with medication-related hospital admissions [OR 3.47; CI95 1.70-7.09], while for the presence of PIMs according to the Beers 2012 criteria a non-significant trend was visible (ORadj 1.49; CI95 0.90-2.47). CONCLUSION Both the STOPP/START criteria and the Beers 2012 criteria can be used to identify older people at risk for medication-related problems. The choice which set of criteria should be used is more dependent on other factors (e.g. national guidelines, practical considerations) than on the association of each set with ADR-related hospital admission
Medicatiescreening met Beers-criteria en STOPP/START-criteria bij de oudere patient: associatie tussen potentieel ongewenst geneesmiddelengebruik en geneesmiddelgerelateerde ziekenhuisopnamen
Medication screening using Beers and stopp/start criteria for elderly patients: association between potentially inappropriate medication and medication-related hospital admissions OBJECTIVE To assess the risk of medication-related hospital admissions associated with inappropriate medication use applying the Beers and the stopp/start criteria. There are multiple screening methods to detect and reduce potentially inappropriate medication (pim) and prescribing omissions (ppos). Whether this will result in less medication-related hospitalisations is unknown. DESIGN A nested case-control study was conducted with a subset of patients of the Hospital Admissions Related to Medication (harm) study. METHODS Cases were defined as patients ≥65 years with a potentially preventable medication-related hospital admission. For each case one control was selected, matched on age and sex. The primary determinant was defined as the presence of one or more pims and/or ppos according to the Beers 2012 and the stopp/start criteria. The strength of the association between a pim/ppo and a medication-related hospital admission was evaluated with multivariate logistic regression and expressed as odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (ci95). RESULTS pims and ppos detected with the stopp/start criteria are associated with medication-related hospital admissions (or 3.47; ci95 1.70-7.09), while for the presence of pims according to the Beers 2012 criteria a non-significant trend was visible (oradj 1.49; ci95 0.90-2.47). CONCLUSION Both the stopp/start criteria and the Beers 2012 criteria can be used to identify older people at risk for medication-related problems. The choice which set of criteria should be used is more dependent on other factors (e.g. national guidelines, practical considerations) than on the association of each set with adr-related hospital admission
The Association Between Potentially Inappropriate Prescribing and Medication-Related Hospital Admissions in Older Patients : A Nested Case Control Study
Introduction: Medication-related problems can cause serious adverse drug events (ADEs) that may lead to hospitalization of the patient. There are multiple screening methods to detect and reduce potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) and potential prescribing omissions (PPOs). Whether this will result in less medication-related hospitalizations is unknown. The study objective was to assess the risk of preventable medication-related hospital admissions associated with potentially inappropriate prescribing, using the Beers 2012 and the Screening Tool of Older Person’s Prescriptions and the Screening Tool to Alert doctors to Right Treatment (STOPP & START) 2008 criteria. Design, setting and participants: A nested case–control study was conducted with a subset of Dutch participants from the Hospital Admissions Related to Medication (HARM) study. Cases were defined as patients aged ≥65 years with a potentially preventable medication-related hospital admission. For each case, one control was selected, matched for age and sex. The primary determinant was the presence of one or more PIMs according to the Beers 2012 and STOPP 2008 criteria. The secondary determinant was the presence of one or more PIMs and PPOs according to the STOPP & START 2008 criteria. The strength of the association between inappropriate prescribing and medication-related hospital admission was evaluated with multivariate logistic regression and expressed as odds ratios (ORs) with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs). Results: The prevalence of Beers 2012 criteria PIMs in the total cohort was 44.4 %. The prevalence of STOPP & START 2008 criteria PIMs and PPOs were, respectively, 34.1 and 57.7 %. STOPP 2008 criteria PIMs were associated with preventable medication-related hospital admissions [OR adjusted for number of drugs and comorbidities (ORadj) 2.30, 95 % CI 1.30–4.07], whereas there was no association with Beers 2012 criteria PIMs (ORadj 1.49, 95 % CI 0.90–2.47). STOPP PIMs and START PPOs together were also associated with preventable medication-related hospital admissions (ORadj 3.47, 95 % CI 1.70–7.09). Conclusion: Our study shows that patients with potentially inappropriate prescribing detected with the STOPP & START 2008 criteria are at risk of preventable medication-related hospital admissions. The STOPP & START 2008 criteria can be used to identify older people at risk of medication-related problems
Conversion of STOPP/START version 2 into coded algorithms for software implementation: A multidisciplinary consensus procedure
Background: The rapid digitalization of medical practice has attracted growing interest in developing software applications for clinical guidelines and explicit screening tools to detect potentially inappropriate prescribing, such as STOPP/START criteria. The aim of the current study was to develop and provide logically unambiguous algorithms of STOPP/START criteria version 2, encoded with international disease and medication classification codes, to facilitate the development of software applications for multiple purposes. Methods: A four round multidisciplinary consensus and validation procedure was conducted to develop implementable coded algorithms for software applications of STOPP/START criteria version 2, based on ICD, ICPC, LOINC and ATC classification databases. Results: Consensus was reached for all 34 START criteria and 76 out of 80 STOPP criteria. The resulting 110 algorithms, modeled as inference rules in decision tables, are provided as supplementary data. Conclusion: This is the first study providing implementable algorithms for software applications based on STOPP/START version 2, validated in a computer decision support system. These algorithms could serve as a template for applying STOPP/START criteria version 2 to any software application, allowing for adaptations of the included ICD, ICPC and ATC codes and changing the cut-off levels for laboratory measurements to match local guidelines or clinical expertise
