| Abstract | The objectives are to determine the rate of potentially inappropriate psychotropic (PIP) prescription at discharge in the elderly psychiatric inpatients and to determine whether PIP is associated with lowered functioning outcomes.Sociodemographic, clinical, and treatment data for all inpatients aged ≥ 65 years consecutively hospitalized during 1 year in 13 psychiatry departments was analyzed. PIP+/PIP− groups were defined according to the French-updated Beers criteria. Daily functioning was evaluated by the daily living (ADL) scale. Logistic regression analysis was used to estimate odds ratios for the association between PIP administration at discharge and respectively functioning and potential confounding factors.Data was obtained for 327 patients. Overall, 124 (37.9 %) patients were males, and the mean age was 73.9 years (SD = 5.6); 163 (49.8 %) patients were diagnosed with affective disorders and 89 (27.2 %) with schizophrenia/schizotypal/delusional disorders. Overall, 249 (76.1 %) had one or more PIP medications, mainly anxiolytics (69.9 %) and hypnotics (17.2 %). In a multivariate analysis, PIP prescription at discharge has been associated with patient lowered personal care functioning, independently of age, gender, and psychiatric or somatic diagnoses (OR = 0.88 (0.79–0.97, p = 0.01).In the current increasingly fragmented health care systems, special attention must be given to PIP prescription in older population suffering from psychiatric disorders. Using the Beers criteria, the present study demonstrates the high prevalence of PIP prescription, which concerns a large panel of drugs but mostly anxiolytics and hypnotics independently of psychiatric or somatic diagnoses and sociodemographic characteristics. Our study has demonstrated for the first time an association between PIP prescription and lowered patient functioning. Further longitudinal studies should confirm a potential causal relation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
