Priscus or ACOVE criteria&#46; These results provide an introduction to the debate on the applicability and validity of measurement tools for appropriateness&#46; The difficulty in applying these tools in settings other than those from where the tools originate &#40;healthcare levels&#44; countries&#41; has been widely commented in the literature&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0655"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">54&#8211;56</span></a> An example of this challenge is the use of the Beers criteria in the studies by Spinewine et al&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0530"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">29</span></a> &#40;Belgium&#41; and O&#39;Sullivan et al&#46; &#40;Ireland&#41;&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0600"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">43</span></a> which were not able to detect positive results in terms of therapeutic appropriateness&#46;

The validity of the measurement methods for appropriateness has also been the subject of controversy&#44; given that the process variables should be related to relevant health outcomes &#40;mortality&#44;

a study<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0725"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">68</span></a> showed that most medication-related problems in elderly patients who live in the community are not detected using STOPP or START criteria&#46; A number of studies that compared the Beers and STOPP criteria seem to show a lower sensitivity for the former in detecting potentially inappropriate medications<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0730"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">69&#44;70</span></a> or for preventing hospitalizations due to medication-related adverse events&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0720"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">67</span></a></p><p id="par0150" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In light of the fact that the available evidence on the predictive validity of explicit criteria is not definitive or the fact that the results can differ depending on the method of analysis employed&#44; it is worth questioning the suitability of the measurement systems for therapeutic appropriateness being used and thus their published results&#46; Given that the tools are employed both to measure results and to perform interventions&#44; we should consider that the health endpoints can also be affected by this validity&#44; especially if the intervention is based exclusively on detecting explicit criteria&#44; as in the study by Gallagher et al&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0560"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">35</span></a></p><p id="par0155" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The use of explicit methods has numerous practical advantages &#40;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#sec0085">Appendix A</a>&#41;&#44; but interventions based on implicit methods &#40;standardized or not&#41; provide a broader vision on the patient&#39;s situation&#44; their preferences&#44; life expectancy and the fixed therapeutic objectives&#46; A recent study<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0740"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">71</span></a> showed that a number of more significant causes for prescribers not modifying the treatment &#40;according to the recommendations included in the STOPP&#47;START criteria&#41; are patient disability&#44; dependence and risk of adverse events&#44; variables that&#44; in the elderly&#44; can be much more important than survival itself&#46; Regardless of the method employed&#44; this type of information is important for adapting the intervention to each patient&#39;s needs&#46; However&#44; only 6<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0515"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">26&#44;29&#44;37&#44;40&#8211;42</span></a> studies conducted a comprehensive geriatric assessment&#44;

because the interventions need to result in treatment changes in order to affect the patient&#39;s health&#46; Consequently&#44; a low degree of acceptance of the recommendations can lead to a lack of improvement in the endpoints&#46; The study by Lisby et al&#46;&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0550"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">33</span></a> for example&#44; had a degree of acceptance of the recommendations of 39&#37;

The study by Gillespie et al&#46;&#44;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0545"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">32</span></a> in which 77&#37; of the recommendations were accepted&#44; showed a reduction in emergency department visits&#46;

such as the low number of participants in a number of the studies and the studies&#8217; low power for detecting significant differences&#46; The studies that had no statistically significant results in terms of mortality&#44; readmissions or emergency department visits had not defined these variables as primary objectives&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0530"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">29&#44;33&#44;35&#44;39</span></a> Age is another factor worth considering&#46;

Various reviews have been conducted on the drug treatment optimization in elderly patients&#44; not focused on the hospital setting&#46; Two of these studies concluded that some interventions with different approaches &#40;educational&#44;

Abstract
Objective

To summarise the evidence on interventions aimed at optimising the drug treatment of hospitalised elderly patients.

Material and methods

We conducted a search in the main medical literature databases, selecting prospective studies of hospitalised patients older than 65 years who underwent interventions aimed at optimising drug treatment, decreasing polypharmacy and improving the medication appropriateness, health outcomes and exploitation of the healthcare system.

Results

We selected 18 studies whose interventions consisted of medication reviews, detection of predefined drugs as potentially inappropriate for the elderly, counselling from a specialised geriatric team, the use of a computer support system for prescriptions and specific training for the nursing team. Up to 14 studies assessed the medication appropriateness, 13 of which showed an improvement in one or more of the parameters. Seven studies measured the impact of the intervention on polypharmacy, but only one improved the outcomes compared with the control. Seven other studies analysed mortality, but none of them showed a reduction in that rate. Only 1 of 6 studies showed a reduction in the number of hospital readmissions, and 1 of 4 studies showed a reduction in the number of emergency department visits.

Conclusions

Despite the heterogeneity of the analysed interventions and variables, we obtained better results in the process variables (especially in medication appropriateness) than in those that measured health outcomes, which had greater variability.

Resumen
Objetivo

Resumir la evidencia sobre las intervenciones orientadas a optimizar el tratamiento farmacológico en ancianos hospitalizados.

Material y métodos

Se realizó una búsqueda en las principales bases de datos bibliográficas, seleccionando estudios prospectivos en pacientes mayores de 65 años hospitalizados que realizaran intervenciones dirigidas a optimizar el tratamiento farmacológico, disminuir la polifarmacia y mejorar la adecuación terapéutica, los resultados en salud o el aprovechamiento del sistema sanitario.

Resultados

Se seleccionaron 18 estudios. Las intervenciones consistieron en revisiones de medicación, detección de medicamentos predefinidos como potencialmente inadecuados en ancianos, asesoramiento de un equipo especializado en geriatría, uso de un sistema informático de apoyo a la prescripción o formación específica al equipo de enfermería. Hasta 14 estudios evaluaron la adecuación terapéutica, demostrando 13 de ellos una mejoría en alguno de los parámetros. Siete estudios midieron el impacto de la intervención sobre la polifarmacia, pero solo uno mejoró los resultados respecto al control. Otros siete estudios analizaron la mortalidad, no demostrándose una disminución de la misma en ninguno. Solo uno de seis estudios mostró una reducción de reingresos hospitalarios y uno de cuatro estudios una disminución de las visitas a urgencias.

Conclusiones

Pese a la heterogeneidad de las intervenciones y de las variables analizadas, se obtuvieron mejores resultados en las variables de proceso, especialmente en la adecuación terapéutica, que en aquellas que midieron resultados en salud, donde hubo una mayor variabilidad.
