RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

Comparar PRISCUS com Beers-Fick na detecção de medicamentos potencialmente inapropriados (MPI) para idosos à primeira consulta ambulatorial geriátrica.

MÉTODOS:

Análise retrospectiva de prontuários por PRISCUS e Beers-Fick adaptados à farmacopeia brasileira, comparando-se o encontro de MPI à primeira consulta ambulatorial geriátrica pelos dois critérios.

RESULTADOS:

Idade média de 77,4 ± 7,7 anos, 64 mulheres e 36 homens, consumo médio de 3,9 ± 2,5 fármacos. Este estudo encontrou significância estatística no número de mulheres em uso de benzodiazepínicos e de homens quanto a salicilatos. Média de 0,5 ± 0,7 MPI/paciente por Beers-Fick e 0,7 ± 0,8 MPI/paciente pela PRISCUS. Medicamentos de Beers-Fick mais referidos benzodiazepínicos, metildopa e derivados do ergot. Medicamentos de PRISCUS mais referidos benzodiazepínicos, anti-hipertensivos e antidepressivos tricíclicos. Não houve significância estatística comparando-se o número de idosos com MPI pelos dois critérios. Constatou-se significância estatística (PRISCUS versus Beers-Fick) no consumo de benzodiazepínicos de longa ação e laxantes. Ambos não incluem fármacos como vitaminas, fitoterápicos e colírios, relatados por percentual da casuística.

CONCLUSÃO:

Os dois critérios são úteis para a prevenção de MPI em idosos, sendo PRISCUS mais atualizada e abrangente, mas não são completos para a realidade ambulatorial brasileira.
ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To compare PRISCUS with Beers-Fick in detecting potentially inappropriate medication (PIMs) in elderly at their first outpatient geriatric visit.

METHODS:

Retrospective medical record analysis by PRISCUS and Beers-Fick adapted to Brazilian pharmacopoeia, comparing the finding of PIMs at the first outpatient geriatric visit by both criteria.

RESULTS:

Cases had mean age of 77.4 ± 7.7 years (64 females and 36 males), and mean consumption of 3.9 ± 2.5 drugs. This study found statistical significance for the numbers of women using benzodiazepines and men using salicylates. The mean was 0.5 ± 0.7 PIMs/patient by Beers-Fick criteria and 0.7 ± 0.8 PIMs/patient by PRISCUS. Medications most often reported by Beers-Fick criteria were benzodiazepines, methyldopa and ergot-derived drugs. Medications most often reported by PRISCUS criteria were benzodiazepines, antihypertensive drugs, and tricyclic antidepressants. No statistical significance was found when the number of elderly patients with PIMs was compared between both criteria. Statistical significance was found (PRISCUS versus Beers-Fick) for the consumption of long acting benzodiazepines and laxatives. Both criteria do not include drugs such as vitamins, herbal medications, and eye drops, reported by a percentage of cases.

CONCLUSION:

Both criteria are useful to prevent PIMs in the elderly, with PRISCUS being more updated and comprehensive, but they are not complete for the Brazilian outpatient reality.
