    Sammanfattning : Background: Drug treatment in older people is particularly complex; the burden of disease increases by age, and patients in this age group are more sensitive to drug effects. As a knowledge resource for clinicians as well as for benchmarking and pharmacoepidemiological research, indicators of prescribing quality for older people have been established, including potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) and potential prescribing omissions (PPOs).
