• older patients
• aged 80 and over

Objective: To analyze potentially inappropriate prescribing (PIP) using the 2014 version of STOPP criteria. Materials and methods: Prescriptions were analyzed by using invoicing data and electronic medical records. Results: At least one STOPP criterion was observed in 9 out of every 10 patients. The most common STOPP criteria found were: "any drug prescribed without an evidence-based clinical indication" and "any drug prescribed beyond the recommended duration, where treatment duration is well defined". Conclusion: The high prevalence of PIP found seems to be due to the inclusion of new criteria related to indication of medication and duration of treatments.
