Potentially Inappropriate Medication Inpatient Elderly with DM Type 2 at RSUD M. Yunus Bengkulu based on Beer's Criteria 2019

Abstract

This study aims to determine the incidence of PIMs and the factors that influence PIMs in geriatric patients with type 2 DM. This study was a non-experimental study with a cross-sectional method. The data collection technique uses medical record data of Type 2 DM patients without or with comorbidities who are elderly in the period of January-December 2022 who are receiving drug therapy. Sampling was done by purposive sampling of 42 patients and data were analyzed using Fisher's statistical test. The results showed that the use of PIMs at RSUD M. Yunus was 92.86% (39 patients). The incidence of PIMs for Type 2 DM drugs were insulin sliding scale (1 patient) and glimepiride (4 patients). For drugs other than Type 2 DM, PPI class drugs are 43.82%. Fisher's test showed that only the number of drugs had a significant relationship with the incidence of PIMs (p=0.019), while other characteristics such as age, gender, comorbidities and length of stay had no effect on PIMs.
