| Abstract |
The objectives of this study are to determine the prevalence of potentially inappropriate prescribing including potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) and potential prescription omissions (PPOs) and to assess related risk factors in older people with major psychiatric illness. This was a cross-sectional study of older patients hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital (n = 164; mean age 74.9 ± 7.3 years; 62% female). The primary endpoint was the prevalence of participants receiving PIMs and PPOs, which was assessed by using the Beers criteria 2012 and the screening tool of older person's potentially inappropriate prescriptions (STOPP) and screening tool of alert doctors to the right treatment (START) criteria. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to assess significant risk factors for PIMs in this population. A total of 1269 drugs were prescribed to included patients (range: 0-19 drugs/day). PIMs were identified in 47% and 79% of participants, based on the Beers 2012 and STOPP criteria, respectively. Most PIMs (70%) concerned psychotropic drugs. The STOPP criteria identified more PIMs (331) than the Beers criteria 2012 (199). According to the START criteria, 59% of participants had PPOs. The number of prescribed medications was significantly associated with the occurrence of PIMs according to the Beers 2012 [OR 1.2 (95% CI 1.1-1.3)] and STOPP [OR 1.5 (95% CI 1.3-1.8)] criteria. Potentially inappropriate prescribing, as identified by the Beers and STOPP/START criteria, is highly prevalent among older patients hospitalized with major psychiatric illness. However, the focus on psychotropic drugs prescription without taking into account the benefit of these drugs to individual patients may limit the application of the Beers and STOPP criteria in psychiatric hospitals.

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 May 2017.
All research outputs
#7,848,721
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry
#1,190
of 2,573 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#87,287
of 281,293 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry
#18
of 30 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 68th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,573 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 53% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 281,293 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 30 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
