Executive Summary: Inappropriate prescribing and associated adverse pharmacotherapy are known to be common in multi-morbid older people exposed to polypharmacy (multiple medications at once). STOPP/START criteria designed to identify instances of potentially inappropriate medications or PIM’s (STOPP) and potential prescribing omissions or PPO’s (START) formed the basis of the SENATOR project. Single centre clinical trials carried out in Cork where STOPP/START criteria were developed prior to SENATOR indicated that STOPP/START criteria as an intervention signi cantly reduced inappropriate prescribing, adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and monthly medication costs in multi-morbid older patients with polypharmacy. Other trials carried out in Belgium and Israel in recent years using STOPP/START criteria as an intervention demonstrated signi cant reductions in inappropriate medication, polypharmacy, medication costs and falls in multi-morbid older people compared to standard pharmaceutical care. The central aim of SENATOR was to design, develop and validate a software engine that included essential features for minimizing adverse pharmacotherapy (including STOPP/START criteria) in older multi-morbid patients. The SENATOR software engine would then be evaluated in tandem with standard pharmaceutical care compared to standard pharmaceutical care alone in a larger scale multi-centre randomized controlled clinical trial involving 6 different European countries. SENATOR also examined the evidence base for the various therapies in 15 common “ONTOP” conditions commonly encountered in older multi-morbid people. Phase 1 (observational) of the SENATOR trial involved 644 patients enrolled from the 6 clinical sites in which we tested (i) a novel ADR ascertainment method based on a Trigger List of common manifestations of ADRs in older people with multi-morbidity, and (ii) a complex electronic case report form for its capacity to store and link individual patient data to a large Drug File database. Phase 2, the randomization intervention phase, involved 1537 older patients hospitalized with acute illness under the care of clinicians other than Grant agreement ID: 305930 Project website
