Potentially inappropriate prescribing among older adults with hypertension in China: prevalence and related comorbidities across different outpatient settings
Among older adult outpatients with hypertension in Shenzhen, PIP was more prevalent in hospitals than in CHCs. The comorbidities most strongly associated with PIP were chronic gastrointestinal disease and mental and behavioral disorders in hospitals and mental and behavioral disorders in CHCs. Clinical pharmacy integration needs to be considered to reduce inappropriate prescribing in this vulnerable population.
