Abstract

Deprescribing is associated with positive health outcomes for older adults in long-term care, however deprescribing is not universally implemented. This study aims to identify the most prevalent Potentially Inappropriate Medication (PIM) used among frail older adults resident in Irish Long-Term Care Facilities (LTCFs), as identified by the Screening Tool of Older Persons Prescriptions in Frail adults with limited life expectancy version 2 (STOPPFrail V2), to form the basis of a deprescribing intervention.
