Potentially inappropriate prescribing in hospitalised children: a retrospective, cross-sectional study at a tertiary children’s hospital in China by Linan Zeng, Lingli Zhang, Dan Yu, Huiqing Wang, Liang Huang, Siyu Li, Guo Cheng, Zhi-Jun Jia

“…Introduction For improving and optimising drug use in children, we previously developed a tool (including a series of criteria for identifying potentially inappropriate prescribing in children) by literature review and the two-round Delphi technique to prevent inappropriate medication prescriptions at the prescribing stage.Objective To assess the prevalence of potentially inappropriate prescription (PIP) among hospitalised children and explore risk factors associated with PIP.Design A retrospective cross-sectional study.Setting A tertiary children’s hospital in China.Participants Hospitalised children with complete medical records who received drug treatment and discharged from 1 January to 31 December 2021.Outcome measures We evaluated the medication prescriptions by using a series of previously developed criteria for detecting the prevalence of PIP in hospitalised children and used logistic regression to explore the risk factors (including sex, age, number of drugs, number of comorbidities, days of hospitalisation and admission departments) for PIP in children.Results A total of 87 555 medication prescriptions for 16 995 hospitalised children were analysed, and 19 722 PIPs were detected. …”
