Prescription of Potentially Inappropriate Medications in Geriatric Patients: Data from a Single Dental Institution

The Beers Criteria and the Screening Tool of Older Persons' Potentially Inappropriate Prescriptions(STOPP) are consensus-driven lists of potentially inappropriate medications(PIMs) in geriatric patients. The Primary objective was to determine the frequency of PIMs prescribed to geriatrics at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine(TUSDM). The secondary aim was to determine the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) status of these patients and suggest that Beers/STOPP guidelines should be implied with consideration to the patient's ASA status.
