Potentially inappropriate medication use in hospitalized elders.

May 14, 2008

Rothberg MB, Pekow PS, Liu F, et al. J Hosp Med. 2008;3(2):91-102.

This retrospective cohort study discovered that nearly 50% of patients received a potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) during hospitalization. Patients with myocardial infarction or heart failure were most likely to receive a PIM whereas men, those in managed care plans, and patients older than 85 were least likely.
