Potentially Inappropriate Prescribing for Prostatic Hyperplasia in Older Persons

In the context of improved medication management of older patients, we wished to evaluate the overprescription of potentially inappropriate drugs [α1-blockers and 5α-reductase inhibitors (5-ARI)] for benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). These drugs are considered by geriatricians to increase the risk...

description In the context of improved medication management of older patients, we wished to evaluate the overprescription of potentially inappropriate drugs [α1-blockers and 5α-reductase inhibitors (5-ARI)] for benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). These drugs are considered by geriatricians to increase the risk of falls and pharmacodynamic interactions, but these properties have not yet been proven. This was a descriptive study of drug prescriptions in a geriatric academic center. We included all patients older than 75 years who received a prescription for α1-blockers or 5-ARIs for 2 weeks in our hospital. We evaluated the prevalence of the potentially inappropriate prescription of α1-blockers and 5-ARI in older people during hospitalization using a new tool consisting of an 8-item list of explicit indicators developed using the most recent summary of product characteristics (SmPC) and latest European Association of Urology (EAU) guidelines. Results: A population of 117 patients (≥75 years) was included in the study. The median age was 84.5 (±6.3) years. The average time since urological medication prescription was 1.2 ± 1.6 years. According to explicit criteria, 84 patients (71.8%) received at least 1 potentially inappropriate urologic medication, 77 (91.7%) related to α1-blockers. Patients with a potentially inappropriate prescription for α1-blockers and/or 5-ARIs more frequently had urological assessments (P = .026), more frequently showed pharmacological interactions, with the risk of orthostatic hypotension (P = .005) or arrhythmia (P = .028), and experienced more falls in their history (P = .043). The misuse group was associated with an increased risk of falls, with an odds ratio of 3.22 (P = .039, 95% confidence interval 1.08–10.2). In our study, potentially inappropriate prescriptions for older individuals for BPH was close to 72% and mainly involved α1-blockers. Potentially inappropriate prescriptions for BPH were associated with a threefold higher frequency of falls.
