Medication management is becoming increasingly challenging for older people, and there is limited evidence to guide medication prescribing and administration for people with multimorbidity, frailty, or at the end of life. Currently, there is a lack of clear research priorities in the field of geriatric pharmacotherapy. To address this issue, international experts from 5 research groups in geriatric pharmacotherapy and pharmacoepidemiology research were invited to attend the inaugural Optimizing Geriatric Pharmacotherapy through Pharmacoepidemiology Network workshop. A modified nominal group technique was used to explore and consolidate the priorities for conducting research in this field. Eight research priorities were elucidated: quality of medication use; vulnerable patient groups; polypharmacy and multimorbidity; person-centered practice and research; deprescribing; methodological development; variability in medication use; and national and international comparative research. The research priorities are discussed in detail in this article with examples of current gaps and future actions presented. These priorities highlight areas for future research in geriatric pharmacotherapy to improve medication outcomes in older people.
药物管理对老年人来说越来越具有挑战性,而且针对患有多种疾病、身体虚弱或生命末期的患者,指导药物处方和管理的证据有限。目前,老年药物治疗领域缺乏明确的研究重点。为了解决这个问题,邀请了来自老年药物治疗和药物流行病学研究的 5 个研究小组的国际专家参加首届通过药物流行病学网络优化老年药物治疗研讨会。使用改良的名义小组技术来探索和整合该领域开展研究的优先事项。确定了 8 个研究重点:药物使用质量;脆弱的患者群体;多种药物并用和多种疾病;以患者为中心的实践和研究;药物减量;方法学发展;药物使用的可变性;以及国家和国际比较研究。本文详细讨论了这些研究重点,并提出了当前差距和未来行动的例子。这些重点突出了老年药物治疗未来研究的领域,以改善老年人的药物治疗效果。
