Study Notes

Optimizing Medicines

Optimizing medicines is crucial to ensure a person takes their medicines as intended, which can support the management of long-term conditions, multimorbidity, and polypharmacy.

STOPP/START Criteria

The goal is to update and validate STOPP/START criteria for potentially inappropriate prescribing.

STOPP/START Version 3

STOPP/START version 3 has been expanded and validated by an international European panel of experts in geriatric pharmacotherapy.
Version 3 includes 190 criteria, significantly larger than version 2 (114 criteria).
The expansion reflects the growth of the pharmacopeia and clinical trials evidence base relevant to older people since the publication of version 2.

Purpose of STOPP/START Version 3

STOPP/START version 3 represents an updated explicit list of potentially inappropriate medications and potential prescribing omissions.
The purpose is to optimize medication and minimize adverse drug reactions and events during medication review in older people, particularly those with multimorbidity and polypharmacy.
