Potentially inappropriate medications for patients with heart failure: a nationwide retrospective study from 2012 to 2022.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As the population ages, addressing potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) for patients with heart failure (HF) is extremely important, and many medical professionals are working on this issue. However, it is unclear whether the various PIM countermeasures being implemented throughout Japan are leading to the suppression of PIMs for patients with HF. The characteristics of hospitalised patients with HF and prescription patterns of PIMs over the past decade were investigated.

Method

Data from the Japanese Cardiovascular Disease Registry Database and the Diagnostic Procedure Combination Database of 1,452,034 inpatients aged ≥18 years diagnosed with HF between April 2012 and March 2022 were analysed. The study was stratified into three periods: 2012-2015, 2016-2
