To analyze which inappropriate drug prescriptions are present and to what extent in older adults treated at the Regional Hospital of Ica. Methodological Strategy: Quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional research. Non-experimental design. Population: Patients over 65 years old treated in the outpatient clinic of the Regional Hospital of Ica. Sample determined by formula. A minimum of 57 prescriptions for older adults was considered. The prescriptions were analyzed using the STOPP/START Criteria, to subsequently estimate the frequency of inappropriate drug prescriptions. Prescriptions that had certain corrections in the instructions or were filled out with illegible handwriting were excluded. Results and Conclusions: Regarding age and sex, the majority of patients who participated were female, representing 56.1%. The age range was between 66 and 83 years, a stage of life corresponding to older adults. According to the STOPP criteria, potentially inappropriate prescriptions were detected in five patients. Of them, 60% (3 patients) were male, and two (40%) were female. Potentially inappropriate prescriptions according to the START criteria were detected in twenty-two patients, of whom ten were male (45.5%) and twelve were female (54.5%). According to the STOPP criteria, 9 PIMs were detected in 5 patients, with the highest percentage (22.2%) related to codes A2, D5, and K1. According to the START criteria, it was found that 95.5% of the presented PPOs were related to code I1.
