| Description: | Multimorbid patients taking polypharmacy represent a growing population at high risk for inappropriate prescribing. Various lists for identifying potentially inappropriate medication are spread across scientific journals and difficult to access. To address this ongoing need, a new database named PIMBase is developed which integrates these well-known lists and unifies their rating scales.

Data-Driven Assessment of Potentially Inappropriate Medication in the Elderly. [PMID: 30147056]
Multimorbid patients taking polypharmacy represent a growing population at high risk for inappropriate prescribing. Various lists for identifying potentially inappropriate medication are spread across scientific journals and difficult to access. To address this ongoing need, a new database named PIMBase is developed which integrates these well-known lists and unifies their rating scales. The analysis of the pharmacovigilance data reveals the benefits of combining the lists. PIMBase is meant to be a web-based system and starting point for the data-driven assessment of polypharmacy to identify inappropriate medication and to improve the quality of prescribing.
