The full title of this Brazilian study is "Factors associated with the use of potentially inappropriate medications by older adults with cancer".

 

"RESULTS:  A total of 78 (48.1%) older adults used at least one PIM. The PIMs to be avoided by older adults were proton pump inhibitors (33.3%), antiemetics (10.5%), long-acting benzodiazepines (10.5%), and antidepressants (7.6%). Multivariate analysis indicated that PIMs were associated with the use of five or more medications (odds ratio, 3.14; 95% confidence interval, 1.4-6.6), after adjusting for the number of medications, number of comorbidities, depression, and arthritis/arthrosis."
