“…A small sample size and the specific setting with a unique physician limit the results from being generalised. The population was cared for by a non-geriatrician practitioner and comprised patients who are representative of nursing homes (advanced old age, predominance of women and polypharmacy (54% taking at least 5 medicines), and many residents had mental health deterioration with similar characteristics to residents in other nursing home-based studies 25,46. Only pharmacists were involved in the review of prescriptions, lack of complete patient clinical data may limit the full application of tools and can overestimate or underestimate PIPs.…”

“…5 Regarding weight and BMI, the values were comparable for the two groups, showed a normal distribution, and were similar to those observed in other studies. 12 The prevalence of arterial hypertension was significantly higher in the control group (40.9%) as compared to the study group (25.9%), and both values were significantly lower than those found in the HTA Geriatric Study, 13 which found a prevalence of 62.1% in this field of care. The lower prevalence of patients with hypertension in our population could be explained by the fact that the diagnosis of hypertension in our study was obtained from the information in the clinical history, while this metric was obtained in the previous study from 3 variables (diagnosis in the clinical history, antihypertension treatment, and/or arterial pressure=140/90 mm Hg), with the presence of at least one of these factors constituting hypertension.…”

“…El envejecimiento conlleva un aumento de la presión arterial (PA), sobre todo de la sistólica, por lo que la hipertensión arterial (HTA) es una patología con elevada prevalencia en ancianos (33). En el momento actual, la HTA, junto con la DM, son las principales causas de ERC que precisan de TSR (34).…”
