Popis:	Background Potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) continue to be prescribed and used as first-line treatment for the most vulnerable of older adults, despite evidence of poor outcomes from the use of PIMs in older adults. PIM use is an important and preventable safety concern in the care of elderly patients and has been associated with adverse drug reactions, hospitalization and mortality. The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of PIM use among the elderly in Montenegro in 2012.
