Prevalence of potentially inappropriate prescribing in community-dwelling older adults: an application of STOPP/START version 3 to The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA)
Approximately one-third of study participants experienced STOPP PIMs, associated with an increased risk of hospital admissions and functional decline. START PPOs also occurred in over one-third, associated with increasing age and degree of multimorbidity. Balancing the risk: benefit of medications for older people with multimorbidity remains challenging.
