Overview

Cross-sectional analysis of potentially inappropriate medication use in older HIV/AIDS patients, highlighting significant factors impacting medication safety.

Key Points

  • The prevalence of potentially inappropriate medications among older patients with HIV/AIDS was 23.20%.
  • Polypharmacy was identified as the strongest predictor of inappropriate medication use, with an adjusted odds ratio of 9.05.
  • Data was drawn from 21 hospitals across eight Chinese cities over a four-year period, employing multivariable logistic regression.
  • This highlights the urgent need for improved medication oversight in older adults with HIV/AIDS, focusing on polypharmacy and hospitalization.
