Résumé

Les risques liés à la prescription médicamenteuse, et en particulier ceux liés à la iatrogénie, sont majorés chez la personne âgée. L’identification des médicaments potentiellement inappropriés fait aujourd’hui partie intégrante de la stratégie d’optimisation thérapeutique. Cet article a pour objectif d’exposer les trois principales approches utilisées: les outils explicites, implicites et ceux évaluant la charge médicamenteuse.

Abstract

Risks related to drug prescription, and in particular those related to iatrogenic, are increased in the elderly. Identify potentially inappropriate medications is today an integral part of the therapeutic optimization strategy. This article studies the three main approaches: explicit, implicit tools and those evaluating the drug burden.
