The American Geriatrics Society (AGS) Beers Criteria© is an explicit list of potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) best avoided in adults ≥65 years. Cognitively impaired and frail surgical patients often experience poor outcomes after surgery, but the impacts of PIMs on these patients are unclear. Our objective was to assess whether perioperative PIM administration was associated with poor outcomes in geriatric surgical patients. We then evaluated the association between PIM administration and postoperative outcomes in subgroups of patients that were frail or cognitively impaired. We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients aged ≥65 years that underwent elective inpatient surgery at a large academic medical center from February 2018 to January 2020. Edmonton Frail Scale and Mini-Cog screening tools were administered to all patients at their preoperative clinic visit. A Mini-Cog score of 0–2 was considered cognitive impairment, and frailty was defined by an Edmonton Frail Scale score ≥ 8. Patients were divided into two groups depending on whether they received at least one PIM (PIM+), based on the 2019 AGS Beers Criteria©, in the perioperative period or none (PIM−). We assessed the association of preoperative frailty, cognitive impairment, and perioperative PIM administration with the length of hospital stay and discharge disposition using multiple regression analyses adjusted for age, sex, ASA Physical status, and ICU admission. Of the 1,627 included patients (mean age 73.7 years), 69.3% (n=1,128) received at least one PIM. 12.7% of patients were frail and 11.1% of patients were cognitively impaired. 64% of the frail patients and 58% of the cognitively impaired patients received at least one PIM. Perioperative PIM administration was associated with longer hospital stay after surgery (PIM− 3.56±5.2 versus PIM+ 4.93±5.66 days, P<0.001, 95% CI 0.360, 0.546). Frail patients that received PIMs had an average LOS that was nearly 2 days longer than frail patients that did not receive PIMs (PIM− 4.48±5.04 versus PIM+ 6.33±5.89 days, p=0.02). Multiple regression analysis revealed no significant association between PIM administration and proportion of patients discharged to a care facility (PIM+ 26.3% versus PIM− 28.7%, p=0.87, 95% CI −0.046, 0.054). Perioperative PIM administration was common in older surgical patients, including cognitively impaired and frail patients. PIM administration was associated with an increased hospital length of stay, particularly in frail patients. There was no association found between PIM administration and discharge disposition.
