- Abstract
The Beers criteria and their modifications are the most frequently used tools for measuring potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) use among older people. The prevalence of such use in various settings has been high, but no data have been reported for an entire national non-institutionalized elderly population, nor is there information on the reimbursement costs for those medications.
