The study estimates the prevalence of potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) use among older adults using the 2012 Beers Criteria, finding that 42.6% of older adults with prescriptions had at least one PIM fill. The prevalence of PIMs has declined from 45.5% in 2006-2007 to 40.8% in 2009-2010, with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs being the most common PIM. Despite this decline, PIMs continue to be prescribed, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring and interventions.
