مستخلص: Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of, and explore factors related to, prescription of potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) among older adults with lower-limb loss (LLL).
Methods: This was a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional dataset collected through an interdisciplinary limb loss clinic between September 2013 and November 2022. Self-report medication lists were reviewed during in-clinic face-to-face interviews and compared to the American Geriatrics Society Beers Criteria corresponding to the patient's evaluation year.
Results: Of 82 participants (72.9 ± 6.6 years-old; 78.0 % male), n = 41 (50.0 %) reported using one or more PIM. PIM prescription was significantly associated with presence of phantom limb pain, history of upper gastrointestinal issues, and a greater number of medications.
Discussion: Polypharmacy and PIM use are common among older adults with LLL. Greater attention should be paid to medications post-amputation, especially pain management medications, to minimize potential adverse side-effects.
