Sponsor's own description

The management of pharmacotherapy in elderly patients is an increasingly critical aspect, as polypharmacy, combined with the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic changes typical of aging, makes older adults more sensitive to the development of adverse reactions. This highlights the importance of appropriate use of pharmacotherapy that considers the risks and benefits of individual treatments. The aim of this study is to measure the prevalence of pharmacological appropriateness using the STOPP/START criteria (version 2) at admission and discharge from an acute geriatric ward, thereby evaluating the impact of hospitalization on medication prescribing.
