description ABSTRACT: In order to improve patient care, OMEDIT (Observatory of drugs, medical devices and therapeutic innovation) Alsace, conducted a study to develop a Preferential list of Drugs adapted to the Elderly (PDE list) in nursing homes. The study conducted from December 2011 to June 2012 was organized in 4 phases: 1) creation of a preliminary list of drugs from those currently used in nursing homes in Alsace, 2) application of a two-round Delphi process to evaluate the preliminary list involving mobilization of experts from different backgrounds (geriatricians, general practitioners, pharmacists …), 3) identification of molecules considered in literature as potentially inappropriate, 4) generation of a final PDE list, including information concerning proper use of drugs for prescription and administration. 53 experts participated in the study. In the first round, 338 drugs were on the preliminary list, 246 were considered as appropriate by experts and 28 as inappropriate. 64 drugs without consensus were submitted to a second round. 32 of them were considered as inappropriate and 32 others remained on the list with no consensus. These last 32 were evaluated by OMEDIT and 3 were considered as appropriate drugs for the elderly. Totally, 252 drugs constitute the final PDE list from our study. The PDE list constitutes a new guide for optimization of both prescription and administration of drugs in nursing homes and could help reduce misuses and poly-medication, which are constant preoccupations to avoid adverse drug reactions in elderly. KEY POINTS: ● The study was carried out with the aim to create a Preferential list of Drugs adapted to the Elderly (PDE list) in nursing homes using a modified Delphi method. ● The PDE list constitutes a new guideline to harmonize practices in nursing homes and to help physicians and nurses to achieve best possible care management.
