− | =====Potentially inappropriate medication use in adults 65 years and older in the United States based on revised and updated 2000 [http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=38375 Beers criteria.]=====
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The Beers criteria are based on expert consensus developed through an extensive literature review with a
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | bibliography and questionnaire evaluated
| + | |
− | by nationally recognized experts in geriatric care, clinical pharmacology, and psychopharmacology using a
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | modified Delphi technique to reach consensus.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The Beers criteria have been used to survey clinical medication use, analyze computerized administrative data
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | sets, and evaluate intervention studies to decrease medication problems in older adults.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | With the continuous arrival of new drugs on the market, increased knowledge about older drugs, and removal of
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | older drugs from the market, these criteria go through updates on a regular basis to remain useful. Since the
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | criteria were published in 1997, there has been an increase in the number of scientific studies addressing
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | drug use and appropriateness in older adults, but there is still a lack of controlled studies in the older
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | population and particularly in patients older than 75 years and patients with multiple comorbidities.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | An initiative by [http://archinte.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/163/22/2716 Donna M. Fick, PhD, RN, et al.]to
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | revise and update the Beers criteria for ambulatory and nursing facility populations older than 65 years in
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | the United States aimed to:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (1) To reevaluate the 1997 criteria to include new products and incorporate new information available from the
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | scientific literature.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (2) To assign or reevaluate a relative rating of severity for each of the medications.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (3) To identify any new conditions or considerations not addressed in the 1997 criteria.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | | + | |
− | The list below contains medications or medication classes that should generally be avoided in persons 65 years
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | or older because they are either ineffective or they pose unnecessarily high risk for older persons and a
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | safer alternative is available. They are concluded to be inappropriate to use independent of diagnoses or
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | conditions and marked with HIGH Severity Rating of Adverse drug events (ADEs).
