INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are widely prescribed in France and could be responsible for adverse drug reactions especially in elderly persons (EP). In order to reduce the misuse of PPI and the excess cost to the Social Security Agency, the French health authorities (Haute Autorité de santé [HAS]) have published strict guidelines for their prescription. We conducted a study in EP to determine the proportion of PPI prescriptions outside HAS guidelines.
METHOD: This was a prospective, single-centre observational study in persons aged≥75 years admitted to a geriatric acute-care unit over a period of 6months. The prevalence of prescriptions for PPI and the proportion of prescriptions outside the guidelines were calculated. The sociodemographic and medical characteristics of EP treated with PPI were studied as were the reasons for the prescription of PPI.
RESULTS: Among the 818 patients hospitalized during the study period, 270 were taking PPI on admission (33%). Among these prescriptions, 60% were outside the HAS guidelines. Gastro-oesophageal reflux was the leading indication for PPI (30%), followed by dyspepsia (19%).
CONCLUSION: This study confirms the high prevalence of prescriptions for PPI and their misuse. As these drugs are apparently well tolerated, prescriptions are often renewed with no medical re-evaluation.
