During first quarter 2024, each patient’s chart adjudicated by two-step standardised review procedure whether admission DRA. The potentially cause reasons were also assessed. Results period, 483 acute-care (mean age 86.7 ± 6.15 years). After adjudication, 207 (43%) identified as DRAs; 70% considered main falls/fractures (33%), bleeding (23%) delirium (14%). drugs most frequently responsible diuretics (21%), renin–angiotensin system inhibitors (20%) direct oral anticoagulants (15%). overall sensitivity specificity detecting 90% (95% CI 88–93) 72% (68–76), respectively. helped detect 83% more compared attending geriatrician.
