ABSTRACT
Screening Tool of Older Person's Prescriptions(STOPP)in Frail old patients(STOPP Frail)with limited life expectancy is a list of explicit criteria for potentially inappropriate medication (PIM)using in frail older adults.STOPP Frail criteria were initially created by the experts from Cork university hospital based on the clinical experience and literature appraisal and released in 2017 by an expert panel of Cork university hospital,Ireland.Using Delphi consensus methodology,the panelists ranked their agreement with each criterion on a 5-point Likert scale and provided a written feedback.Twenty-seven criteria with a median Likert response of 4/5 (agree/strongly agree)and a 25th centile of ≥4 scores were included in the final list.STOPP Frail may assist physicians in deprescribing medications to reduce the PIM use in frail older adults.
