About this study

Official title: Inappropriate Prescribing of Proton-pump Inhibitor is it Associated With the Burden of Comorbidities in Older Patients Over 75 Years Old ?

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are one of the most frequently prescribed classes of drugs in the world and the most effective drugs available to reduce gastric acid secretion. However, studies have shown that PPIs are not always prescribed with a clear indication. Indeed, between 25% and 86% of older individuals taking a PPI have been overprescribed these medications. In older patients, overprescribing of a PPI is associated with increases in morbidity, adverse drug events, hospitalization, and mortality. The hypothesis is that overprescription of PPIs is associated with the individual multimorbidities in older patients evaluated using the multimorbidities group criteria included in the CIRS. The aim of the present study was to establish a relationship between overprescribing of PPIs and multimorbidities in older patients.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Burden of comorbidities

    Burden of comorbidities is assessed by the CIRS (Cumulative Illness Rating Scale)

    Measured: 48 hours after the entry into acute geriatric medicine

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Geriatric Disorder, run by Nantes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Burden of comorbidities (time frame: 48 hours after the entry into acute geriatric medicine). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jul 2016.
