Abstract in brief

  • A study was conducted to evaluate the impact of a Geriatric Prescribing Context (GPC) designed for older adults on the rates of adverse drug events (ADEs) during hospitalization, comparing data before and after its implementation in July 2017.
  • The analysis involved reviewing medical records for dose-related ADEs from commonly used medications, with results indicating a significant decrease in the proportion of admissions and the rate of ADEs after the GPC was introduced.
  • Overall, the GPC's implementation was linked to reduced dose-related ADEs in hospitalized older adults, though the severity of harm categories remained unchanged.
