About STOPP/START

The STOPP/START explicit criteria define clinically important potentially inappropriate medications and potential prescribing omissions relevant to medication review in older people. These criteria cannot replace clinical judgment in individual cases but may serve to guide physician prescribing and deprescribing practices and provide the basis for future clinical studies and interventions aimed at improving the quality of drug prescribing in older people.
