Inappropriate use of proton pump inhibitors.
Irish Journal of Medical Science 2010 March
BACKGROUND: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used expensive medications.
AIMS: We performed a cross-sectional study to determine the extent and indication of PPI use in Irish acute medical wards.
METHODS: Fifty-five medical charts were reviewed at the beginning and end of 1 month.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Thirty-three patients were prescribed PPIs; 26 prior to admission. The prescribing of PPIs was concordant with guideline recommendations in only 30% of cases. Two-thirds of PPI use was unlicensed.
