Research
- Audit- Application of the STOPP Criteria to assess polypharmacy in geriatric population
- July 2016
- Audit objective included evaluating the number of patients aged 65 and over who, following discharge from Malta's general hospital and subsequent admission to a rehabilitation hospital, had their treatment regimen modified by attending geriatricians within a two-week timeframe. The audit also assessed whether specific drug classes were more frequently initiated, adjusted, or discontinued. Findings were compared against the established standards of the STOPP/START criteria to assess alignment with best prescribing practices in older adults.
