Abstract Objectives The aim of this study is to analyze the association between degree frailty and inappropriate prescribing patterns at admission an Acute Care Elderly Unit (ACE Unit). Methods Prospective observational conducted in ACE acute hospital Barcelona city June August 2021. Epidemiological demographic data were collected during hospitalization. Comprehensive geriatric assessment was performed on admitted patients. We recorded (FRAIL scale), extreme polypharmacy (10 or more drugs), central nervous system potentially medications‐PIMs (STOPP‐CNS group D), cardiovascular potential omissions‐PPOs (START‐CV A), anticholinergic burden using drug index (DBI).
