INTRODUCTION: The percentage of seniors in the population is increasing worldwide and Europe is not an exception in this case. Geriatric patients create a very specific group of patients in which the risk of drug-related problems is increased due to many reasons. Explicit criteria of potentially inappropriate medications/drug procedures (PIMs) in the aged belong to instruments helping with the evaluation of the quality of drug prescribing to older patients and have been developed in the past decades with the aim to increase the quality of geriatric pharmacotherapy and to minimize the quantity and severity of adverse drug reactions. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the registration rates and OTC availability of pharmaceuticals from the PIMs list created for the purposes of EU COST Action IS1402 initiative (2015-2018) in 5 countries - Czech Republic, Estonia, Croatia, Poland and Slovakia. METHODOLOGY: Based on the thesis by S. Grešáková, MS, a list of 487 potentially inappropriate medicines/drug procedures in the aged has been created and subsequently also the record table stating the individual PIMs and other requested characteristics that was later filled by research teams of participating countries in the period from December 2016 to April 2017. In each country the following attributes were monitored:...
