本研究使用遣返药品福利计划药房索赔数据库，检查了根据明确标准定义的、向澳大利亚退伍军人发放的潜在不适当药物的程度。 2005 年前 6 个月内，192363 名持有合格金卡的 70 岁退伍军人中，有 21% 的人至少被配发了一种可能不适当的药物。长效苯二氮卓类药物、阿米替林、胺碘酮、奥昔布宁和多虑平是最常涉及的药物。支持向老年人提供高质量药物处方的策略必须包括对这些药物的关注。
This study examined the extent of potentially inappropriate medicine, as defined by explicit criteria, dispensed to Australian veterans using the Repatriation Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme Pharmacy Claims database. Twenty‐one per cent of the 192 363 veterans aged 70 years, with an eligible gold card, were dispensed at least one potentially inappropriate medicine in the first 6 months of 2005. Long‐acting benzodiazepines, amitriptyline, amiodarone, oxybutynin and doxepin were the medicines most commonly implicated. Strategies to support quality prescribing of medicines to the elderly must include a focus on these medicines.
