RESUMEN
El proceso de prescribir un medicamento incluye decirdir
si está indicado, elegir el mejor, determinar una
dosis y un esquema de administración adecuados a
la condición fisiológica del paciente, el seguimiento
de la efi cacia y toxicidad. Debe informarse a los
pacientes sobre los efectos secundarios esperados
y las indicaciones para solicitar la consulta. Para la
elaboración de esta guía se formularon preguntas clínicas
específi cas, con base en el acrónimo PICOST.
La búsqueda se realizó en los sitios web específi cos
de guías de práctica clínica, en inglés o español, y
se limitó a la población de adultos mayores. Se usaron
10 guías de práctica clínica relacionadas, ocho
revisiones sistemáticas y cinco metaanálisis. Por
último, se realizó una búsqueda de artículos originales
o revisiones clínicas para aspectos específi cos.
La elaboración y validación de una guía de práctica
clínica para “prescripción farmacológica razonada
en el adulto mayor” tiene el propósito de promover
una mejora en la calidad de la prescripción médica,
mediante la prevención y detección de la prescripción
inapropiada en el anciano y como resultado de esto
disminuir los eventos adversos originados por fármacos,
el deterioro de la salud de los pacientes y el
gasto no justifi cado de los recursos.
