Development of explicit definitions of potentially inappropriate prescriptions for antidiabetic drugs in patients with type 2 diabetes: A multidisciplinary qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The management of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients has changed over the past decade, and a large number of antidiabetic drug treatment options are now available. This complexity poses challenges for healthcare professionals and may result in potentially inappropriate prescriptions of antidiabetic drugs in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus which can be limited using screening tools. The effectiveness of explicit tools such as lists of potentially inappropriate prescriptions has been widely demonstrated. The aim was to set up nominal groups of healthcare professionals from several disciplines and develop a list of explicit definition of potentially inappropriate prescriptions of antidiabetic drugs.

Methods

In a qualitative, nominal-groups approach, 30 diabetologi
