Published: October 2022

El PET/TC-PSMA es una técnica de imagen no invasiva que demostró ser más sensible y específica comparado con el PET-Colina, sobre todo con valores de PSA <1 ng/ml. Últimamente su utilización ha ganado terreno y tiene indicaciones precisas en enfermedad localizada de alto riesgo y en recaída bioquímica.

Los objetivos del presente estudio fueron identificar las indicaciones del PET/TC PSMA y evaluar el impacto del resultado del estudio en la indicación de terapia dirigida a la metástasis.

Se trata de un estudio descriptivo, observacional, retrospectivo y mono institucional.

Se incluyeron todos los pacientes con diagnóstico de cáncer de próstata que realizaron 68Ga-PSMA- PET/TC en el Instituto Alexander Fleming (IAF) y se excluyeron a aquellos que no tuvieron seguimiento en esta institución.

Se obtuvieron los resultados de 39 PET/TC-PSMA. Los motivos de indicación de dichos estudios fueron la recaída bioquímica en 24 pacientes (61.5%), el diagnóstico de enfermedad localizada de alto riesgo en 8 (20.5%) y otras indicaciones en 7 (18%).

Se evidenció captación patológica en todos los PET/ TC-PSMA realizados con un valor de PSA ≥ 0.71 ng/ ml y en 2 con valores menores (con 0.06 y 0.4 ng/ml).

De los 24 pacientes que realizaron el estudio por recaída bioquímica, a 9 (37.5%) se les realizó tratamiento dirigido a la metástasis (7 SBRT y 2 linfadenectomias).

En nuestra institución, la mayoría de las indicaciones del PET/TC PSMA se realizaron en coincidencia con las recomendaciones actuales de enfermedad localizada de alto riesgo y en recaída o persistencia bioquímica.
“This doesn’t feel like living”: How the COVID-19 Pandemic Affected the Mental Health of Vulnerable University Students in the United Kingdom
Authors: Horner Charlotte Rose , Hugh-Jones Siobhan , Sutherland Ed , Brennan Cathy , Sadler-Smith Charlotte
Published: October 2022

Introduction: Concerns about student mental health have been rising globally. The COVID-19 pandemic triggered unprecedented disruption in higher education as universities were forced to close and adapt their education delivery. Understanding the impact of this on vulnerable students can inform higher education’s response to future similar events. Aims: To understand the lived experience of first year university students studying in the United Kingdom, who had a history of poor mental health and lived on a low income, we examined the inter-relatedness between mental health, financial strain, remote learning and engagement, and well-being. Methods: At the start of their first year of study, whilst the UK was in periods of lockdown, we conducted in-depth semi-structured interviews with 20 diverse first-year university students. We analyzed data using interpretative phenomenological analysis. Results: The pandemic’s impact on student mental health, engagement and learning remained pervasive and serious. Key themes conveyed how isolation triggered past mental health difficulties and a perception that the universities – and government – had forgotten about them. Students also experienced greater difficulty in navigating the liminal threshold between being a child and an adult, and having the additional worry of financial instability left students with fewer coping resources. Conclusions: To mitigate the impact of future pandemic responses, constant and effective communication is needed between faculty and students to safeguard against isolation and low motivation. Vulnerable students need guidance in coping skills to manage mental health risks when they are away from family and familiar support networks.
REKOGNISI SEBAGAI HAK ISTIMEWA DESA
Authors: PURNOMO HERU
Published: October 2022

Keberadaan desa mengalami tumbuh kembangnya selama ratusan atau bahkan ribuan tahun yang lalu. Desa merupakan daerah otonom yang paling tua, dimana desa lahir sebelum lahirnya daerah otonom yang lebih besar, hal dapat ditelusur melalui berbagai pranata hukum yang mengatur mengenai desa, mulai dari masa kekuasaan Raffles sebagai Letnan Gubernur Hindia Belanda, Pemerintahan Kolonial Belanda, masa pendudukan militer Jepang hingga saat ini dengan diundangkannya UU Nomor 6 Tahun 2014 tentang Desa. Namun dalam implementasinya, UU Nomor 6 Tahun 2014 belum dijalankan secara murni, khusus masalah penyelenggaraan kewenangan desa yang berdasarkan hak asal usul (rekognisi). Dalam pembahasan makalah ini dibahas yang pada pokoknya penyelenggaraan kewenangan desa oleh pemerintahan desa pada hakikatnya menjalankan fungsi pemerintahan secara riil dilapangan. Pembahasan mengenai penyelenggaraan kewenangan desa, khususnya yang berdasarkan hak asal usul (rekognisi) didasarkan melalui studi pustaka dengan menelaah data sekunder, berupa literatur primer, yang berupa laporan penelitian dari berbagai pakar, buku-buku serta Peraturan Perundang-undangan yang berkaitan langsung penyelenggaraan kewenangan desa guna dapat menjadi referensi untuk memahami penyelenggaraan pemerintahan desa yang berdasarkan hak asal usul (rekognisi).

KOMPARASI PEMBINAAN KETERAMPILAN KERJA NARAPIDANA TIPIKOR DENGAN PIDANA UMUM DI LAPAS KELAS IIA YOGYAKARTA
Authors: Nur Wicaksana Dimas Ilham
Published: October 2022

Pembinaan keterampilan kerja bagi narapidana menjadi salah satu bagian menuju reintegrasi sosial sesuai dengan tujuan pemasyarakatan. Pemberian pembinaan keterampilan kerja diyakini dapat memfasilitasi narapidana untuk dapat hidup mandiri kelak saat telah bebas. Sebuah pertanyaan yang menarik ketika membahas urgensi narapidana korupsi untuk mendapatkan pembinaan keterampilan kerja. Korupsi yang notabene sebagai extraordinary crime seolah telah membuat sebuah clusterisasi berdasarkan tingkat ekonomi pelakunya yaitu mayoritas kaum elite sesuai jenjangnya. Di sisi lain, kondisi kemajemukan tingkat ekonomi narapidana di dalam Lembaga Pemasyarakatan mengharuskan petugas melakukan pembinaan keterampilan kerja dengan selektif dan menyesuaikan sarpras. Fakta ini mendorong penulis untuk melihat bagaimana komparasi pembinaan keterampilan kerja di Lembaga Pemasyarakatan Kelas IIA Yogyakarta antara narapidana kasus korupsi dengan pidana umum seperti pencurian, penipuan, penganiayaan, dan perlindungan anak yang mayoritas dari kalangan menengah ke bawah. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan metode yuridis empiris dan pendekatan kualitatif dengan wawancara dengan para praktisi di lapangan. Kesimpulan dalam penelitian ini adalah pembinaan keterampilan kerja di Lembaga Pemasyarakatan Kelas IIA Yogyakarta dilaksanakan dengan melibatkan narapidana kasus korupsi dan tindak pidana umum. Porgram pembinaan keterampilan kerja dengan melibatkan narapidana kasus korupsi tidak menyalahi aturan mengingat pada tahapan itu semua narapidana diperlakukan sama. Perbedaan perlakuan hanya pada saat masa asimilasi. Saran untuk peningkatan kualitas pembinaan keterampilan kerja adalah penambahan jumlah sarana dan prasarana sehingga dapat melibatkan jumlah narapidana lebih besar.

Final grades of the students in Mathematics, English, Science, and Filipino were used to measure their academic performance. Fractal dimensions were obtained, and the self-similarity of the academic performance of students across colleges was investigated using fractal spectrum. Results revealed that the academic performance of students is fractal in nature but bounded. Self-similarity is also found in students’ academic performance in the four subjects mentioned across colleges. With this finding, implications to educators to understand and improve the academic performance of students can be addressed.Keywords: Fractal analysis, students' performance, education, spectrum, ruggedness
Detailing Poverty Incidence through Fractals: Which of the Gross National Product or Multidimensional Poverty Index Explain Poverty Incidence Better?
Authors: Mirasol Joy M , Maureal Zeny L , Lacpao Noel B
Published: October 2022

This paper attempts to explain poverty incidence of the 97 countries using fractal analysis. Gross National Product (GNP) and Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) of each country were used as poverty indicators. Fractal dimensions were obtained, compared and analyzed. The three variables have fractal characteristics of ruggedness and self-similarity. Results revealed that the ruggedness of poverty incidence across the countries is due to the ruggedness of the MPI, that is, the deprivation to basic services such as health, education, and standard of living affects the quality of living. Thus, MPIs explain poverty incidence more precisely. With this finding, implications to policymakers to alleviate poverty can be addressed.Keywords:  Fractal analysis, Gross National Product, Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI), poverty indicators, spectrum
Language Loss Index for Speakers of Indigenous Languages
Authors: Abejuela Hazel Jean M , Reyes Katherine Joy G
Published: October 2022

Monitoring the status of indigenous language is an urgent call in recent years. This necessitates the development of mechanisms that would examine the state of endangered languages across ethnolinguistic groups. This study aimed at (1) developing a multidimensional index of indigenous language loss in five domains: home, social interaction, workplace, academe, cultural and language loss; 2) determining the appropriate weight for each domain; and 3) validating the index through a pilot sample. Findings revealed that Binukid, the indigenous language of Malaybalay is partially lost, i.e., it is no longer used in two domains, in school, and social interaction. This decline is critically engendered by various factors such as speech community reduction, language competencies, the presence of other languages, frequency and motivation of Ll use. However, the indigenous language is supported and maintained in the home, cultural/religious and even in the workplace domains. Further, educational attainment, language used and age (especially among the school-going participants) are the variables that significantly correlate with language loss. With the development of the index, it is hoped that language planners and educators will be guided in assessing the state of heritage languages and subsequently in formulating sociolinguistic policies and programs.Keywords: indigenous language, language loss, multidimensional index of indigenous language loss

Published: October 2022

This study examined the horizontal and vertical typology of Bukidnon State University in line with the paradigm shift of the private and public Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the Philippines to enhance the quality assurance system. This shift intends to rationalize distribution and operation of HEIs in the country. Data were taken from the last five years including 2014 enrolment, undergraduate and graduate degree program offering, thesis requirement, involvement in research and annual research cost expenditure. This is a descriptive study whereby the criteria set by the Commission on Higher Education’s Policy Standard to Enhance Quality Assurance in Philippine Higher Education through an Outcomes-based and Typology-based Quality Assurance (CHED Memorandum Order of 2012) on horizontal typology whether professional institution, college or university found that the horizontal typology of Bukidnon State University is university but with weaknesses in research funding, physical facilities such as laboratories, research linkages abroad, and invented technologies. In the three types of higher education institutions (HEIs) according th vertical classification of the autonomous HEI, deregulated HEI and regulated HEI, Bukidnon State University has yet to pass most of the criteria for the vertical typology and hence, it is still regulated by CHED.Keywords:  rationalization, typology, graduate and undergraduate programs, professional programs, non-professional programs

Authors: Barroso Carina Joane Villareal
Published: October 2022

This study reports on the development and validation of an instrument for measuring the research culture of different academic institutions. The Research Culture Index (RCI) is an instrument shows the sum of different dimensions namely research competency, research process and research productivity. There were 535 respondents which included the administrators, researchers, and faculty members from six State Universities and Colleges in Region. The validation was done through Delphi method and underwent reliability test using Cronbach Alpha, yielding high-reliability result of 0.8 for two trials. The study revealed that among the three dimensions of the Research Culture Index, research competency significantly influenced the outcome of RCI in the academe as reflected by its high optimal weight. The three prime universities in Region X namely: Mindanao State of Science and Technology; Bukidnon State University and Central Mindanao University, have high research culture index. Demographic data further shows that age has a significant bearing on dimension 1: research competency of the faculty, while the academic rank of the faculty has a significant bearing on the two dimensions namely, research competency, and research process.

Authors: Spires Robert W. , Tost Jeremy
Published: October 2022

AbstractLife in rural Cambodia is difficult and rural women face issues such as gender-based violence, limited educational opportunities, and pressure to work while maintaining domestic roles.  The current exploratory study examines the attitudes of rural Cambodian women (n = 48), framed within in context of migration to Thailand, with particular focus on the areas of community ailments, migration, and educational opportunities.  Descriptive statistics indicate the persistence of an unhealthy community, with participants acknowledging the problems of domestic violence, crime, drug use, alcohol use, and depression.  The data suggest some improvement in Cambodia, though participants nonetheless recognized working in Thailand as a competing option to the rural village life.  Education is viewed positively, with evidence suggesting that the perceived benefits of education do not outweigh the economic push factors.  As incoming aid money increases, before data will be helpful in guiding conclusions and informing decision making. Conclusions reflect a nuanced perspective of female participants’ agency given their challenging situation, reflecting informed decision making with informal risk analysis. Keywords: Cambodia, women, rural, migration, education

Published: October 2022

Understanding how speech acts works in conversation is significant. A positiveexpression may be deemed an insult depending on the shared background knowledgeof the interlocutors. Thus, this study aimed to identify the speech acts embedded in theutterances of the characters of the Game of Thrones. A descriptive qualitative research wasused employing speech acts theory as a guide for analysis. The locutionary acts found in theutterances dominantly indicated a fall intonation contour despite the change of intentionof the speaker which indicates that the characters are conscious of the utterance, arearistocrats and are educated who know how to hold their temper in worst circumstances.The illocutionary acts in the utterances are dominantly assertive, followed by commissive,directive, expressive, and declarative. This implies that the characters of the Game of Thronesoften express a statement of either fact or opinion and less of a declaration. The actualperceived perlocutionary acts are dependent on the interpretation of the interlocutors inthe utterances of the characters. These findings revealed that the discourse elements of theGame of Thrones resemble daily communicative acts of actual interactions.

Organic manures have long been used by farmers for the availability of nutrients forplant growth, and to improve soil quality. But the kind and amount of organic media mostbeneficial to the growth of kangkong (Ipomoea aquatica Forssk.) and pechay (Brassica rapaL.) are uncertain. This study investigated the effects of growing media mixtures (GMM)with different amounts of chicken manure and vermicast on the growth and productivityof the selected vegetables. The study aimed to assess the quality of the GMM with differentamounts of chicken manure and vermicast in terms of pH, organic matter, total nitrogen,extractable phosphorus, and exchangeable potassium, determine the effect of differentGMM on the growth and productivity of I. aquatica and B. rapa in terms of average plantheight, leaf width, the number of leaves, and fresh weight of plants, and determine thebest-growing media mixtures for the growth and productivity of the experimental plants.Results show that the growing media mixture with optimum pH range, high OM, N, P,and K contents have biological and nutrient essential for plant growth and productivity.T10 yielded kangkong with the broadest leaf width, the greatest number of leaves, andheaviest fresh weight, while T9 produced the tallest, broadest leaf, greatest number ofleaves, and heaviest pechay. Overall, T10 is the best growing media for kangkong. WhereasT9 is optimum for cultivating pechay. Results indicated that chicken manure and vermicastenriched growing media mixture build healthy soil for improved growth and productivityof kangkong and pechay.
Differential Characteristics of Poor and Non-Poor Communities in Malaybalay City
Authors: Mirasol Joy M , Dales Zita I
Published: October 2022

Poverty is a multi-dimensional phenomenon. In this study, eight dimensions were considered: demography, economic activities, environmental sanitation, literacy and education, social welfare, food shortage and food threshold of 14,528 households of Malaybalay City, Bukidnon. Given these dimensions, discriminant analysis was used to establish the characteristics of poor and non-poor households on the basis of multiple responses on all households. The classification results reveal 87.9% of households were classified correctly into poor and non-poor groups.  Initial results further revealed that literacy and education and environmental sanitation were the strongest predictors of the group classification. Furthermore, on the basis of the classification rule developed in the study, of the identified poor households only 32.14% were recipients of the poverty reduction program of the city while 67.86% of the recipients were actually non-poor. The classification rule developed by this study did not match the classification rule of the city. The analysis of this paper is certainly not of sufficient complexity to allow a comprehensive poverty reduction strategy for Malaybalay City to be devised entirely from this result. Nevertheless, it does provide policy planners with objective measures on the distribution of goods and services for poverty alleviation that might be realized from sectoral poverty reduction strategy. Policy planners should view this result as a guide to allocate resources for poverty reduction in a more informed evidence-based manner.Keywords:  differential characteristics, poverty, discriminant analysis
Economic Dimension in the Ways of Life of the Seven Tribes of Bukidnon
Authors: Partosa Cornelia T
Published: October 2022

This study on the Ways of Life of the Seven Tribes of Bukidnon focuses on the economic dimension, specifically on livelihood and income sources, livelihood assistance and opportunities afforded by the government, problems encountered relative to livelihood and their actual average monthly income. The author used descriptive method of research using semi-structured interviews as the primary approach. Follow-up clarifying interviews were also conducted which were carried out in a conversational style. Field notes were also written in conjunction with the interviews, observations and casual encounters with subjects. Results showed that the seven tribes have farming as their source of livelihood. Other sources of income include farm labor, peddling, weaving, among others. Of the seven only three received livelihood assistance. Although livelihood opportunities are available, lack of capital seems to be the main problem of the tribes. Their average monthly income is very low and not even enough for daily subsistence. Poverty apparently exists in every tribe of Bukidnon. However, there is still a great possibility for the return of self- sufficiency and self-reliance of the seven tribes of Bukidnon if the people’s economic concern is addressed.Keywords:  economic dimension, livelihood, income sources, livelihood assistance

Tax law is often considered incomprehensible. Especially individuals without a background in tax law often lose track of how much they actually owe to the tax authorities. Nevertheless, in German substantive tax law, no rule has yet been rejected for lack of certainty and clarity. The situation is different in Polish constitutional law. There, the tax abuse general clause, which is almost identical to the German § 42 AO, was rejected in 2004.

This ruling will be analyzed in the context of a comparative law study. With regard to the increasing influence of EU law, standards for legal wording will be developed to ensure consistent jurisprudence and, at the same time, better comprehensibility.

Katolicisme i Ingemanns danmarkshistorie
Authors: Martinsen Lone Kølle
Published: October 2022

This study presents a reading of Catholicism in the historical novels of the Danish author Bernhard Severin Ingemann, written between 1824 and 1836, in the light of the so-called Nordic Sonderweg. The idea of a Nordic Sonderweg has been propounded in historical studies since the early 1990s and has gained significance ever since. The main idea is that the notion of a free peasant class, combined with Lutheranism, played a crucial role in the rise of modern democratic societies. Nordic peasants – so it is argued – enjoyed more freedom and equality, were more trusting, and earned greater respect and prestige than their fellows in southern European countries, who were hampered by feudalism, coercion, and Catholicism. My main argument is that Ingemann, as a pastoral enlightener in the North, represents the idea of a Nordic Sonderweg in his novels too and that his conception of Catholicism can be understood in the light of this grand narrative.

Revisiting a CAD course in the midst of the global pandemic with an activity-centered framework
Authors: Gelmez Koray , Arkan Selin
Published: October 2022

Inevitably, the global pandemic that occurred in 2020 had a significant impact on the practices of design education, and apparently, design teachers were not fully prepared and equipped. In this ambivalent and emergent era, they struggled to adapt their current teaching methods to online education. Since then, various teaching methods have been developed and applied to incorporate online delivery. As we see an invitation to advance learner-centered and process-based teaching approaches regarding Computer-Aided Design (CAD) education in the literature; in this article, we address how a constructively aligned CAD course has been adapted to online learning and how it affected design students’ learning ex­per­iences. Hence, we discuss the online CAD learning experience through students’ reflections based on the Activity-Centered Analysis and Design (ACAD) Framework. To get insights into their online learning experience on CAD, we asked students to write their thoughts based on a structured qualitative course evaluation template. Broadly, online learning practices in CAD not only resulted in challenges in design learning but also created opportunities as mentioned in students’ writings. Based on qualitative content analysis, students’ reflections on a CAD class implemented under the context of online learning can include both advantages and disadvantages of the online learning platform, peer learning, peer tutoring, active involvement in the class, communication, etc. As a result, students’ reflections on the CAD course made us think that the dimensions of the ACAD Framework are interwoven and interactive.

Microorganisms in close association with the roots of plants can enhance plant growth, through nitrogen fixation (NF) and phosphorus solubilization (PS). Although the type of microbes in close association with different plants varies, their population and genetic capabilities is affected by several factors. Therefore, in this study, the plant growth promoting properties of rhizobacteria present in the rhizosphere of two cassava varieties (Sweet cassava US, bitter cassava ST) indigenous to Iyamho community was explored.   The samples were analyzed for total culturable heterotrophic bacteria community and the obtained isolates were screened for NF and PS abilities using a semi-solid N-free medium and Pikovaskya agar respectively. The bacterial population in both agar medium varied, however, the bacterial counts on Luria Bertani (3.67 x 105, 3.35 x 106) was higher than  Nutrient agar (2.73 x 105, 2.68 x 105) after incubation for 24 hours at 37oC  for sweet and bitter cassava rhizosp here respectively. Also, isolates from sweet cassava had the highest bacteria count in both Nutrient agar and Luria Bertani agar. A total of sixteen isolates were obtained, six phosphate solubilizers, five nitrogen fixers, and five without traits for either NF or PS. The Gram-negative bacterial group was more dominant across all isolates while the dominant genus was Bacillus. This study indicates that the nitrogen fixers and phosphate solubilizers are major constituents of the rhizomicrobe of cassava plants although the distribution varies across cassava varieties. However, sweet cassava rhizosphere harbored more nitrogen-fixing bacteria while both varieties had the same amount of phosphate solubilizing rhizobacteria.

SHOPPING ENJOYMENT, IN-STORE BROWSING AND IMPULSE BUYING ON SPORT SHOES AMONG THE GENERATION Y
Authors: Purnama Gerry , Suprapto Widjojo
Published: October 2022

For almost two years, the restrictions imposed by the government of Indonesia to control the spread of Covid-19 pandemic have changed the way consumers shopping their necessities from conventional shops to online stores. Supported with good information communication technology infrastructures and vast network of logistic distribution, customers find conveniences while shopping online, thus, e-commerce rules over the conventional businesses. As the pandemic was under control, conventional businesses resume their activities, including the opening of malls and other public places by the fourth quarter of 2021. As a result, shoppers are returning to malls, and shop owners are launching marketing campaigns to attract buyers. The aim of this study is to examine the influence of shopping enjoyment and in-store shopping experience on impulse buying among the Generation Y while browsing in-store on limited edition sport shoes. Limited edition sport shoes are purchased by the Generation Y sport fans as collectible items which become a symbol of social identity embedded to that generation. Previous studies noted that the Generation Y often conducted unplanned shopping while hanging out in the malls. With the new normal in-store shopping opportunity, it is expected that shopping enjoyment will stimulate the urge to buy impulsively among the Generation Y. As this is a quantitative research, the data are collected using questionnaires which are distributed to 300 respondents. The questionnaire gathers data on shopping enjoyment, impulse buying tendency, in-store browsing, and impulse buying from the Generation Y. Then, the data are processed with a smart PLS software to obtain the validity and reliability tests, and to prove the hypothesis test. The results show that shopping enjoyment and impulse buying tendency have a positive significant impact on in-store browsing, and in-store browsing has a positive significant impact on impulse buying. However, the variable of shopping enjoyment brings more impact to impulse buying than the variable of impulse buying tendency.

Importance

Potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) and potential prescribing omissions (PPOs) are used in research to reflect the quality of drug treatment in older people and have been suggested for inclusion in core outcome sets for evaluation of interventions for improved prescribing. Their validation so far, however, is primarily restricted to expert opinion–based processes.

Objective

To evaluate the performance of 3 explicit PIM/PPO criteria sets as diagnostic tools to identify inadequate drug treatment in older patients.

Design, Setting, and Participants

This diagnostic study analyzed patients aged 65 years or older consecutively included from 2 primary health care centers from October to November 2017. Data were analyzed from February to August 2022.

Exposures

The PIMs/PPOs were concordantly identified by 2 specialist physicians (2018-2019) retrospectively after a planned physician visit, using 3 European PIM/PPO criteria sets and without knowledge of this diagnostic study.

Main Outcomes and Measures

Area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, reflecting the ability of PIM/PPO criteria sets to identify the reference standard of inadequate drug treatment, determined by 2 specialist physicians in consensus. Inadequate drug treatment implied that additional action related to the medication could be medically justified before the next regular visit.

Results

A total of 302 patients were analyzed (median age, 74 [IQR, 69-81] years; 178 women [59%]; median number of drugs in the medication list, 6 [IQR, 3-9]); 98 patients (32%) had inadequate drug treatment. A total of 0 to 8 PIMs/PPOs per patient were identified using the Screening Tool of Older Persons’ Prescriptions (STOPP)/Screening Tool to Alert to Right Treatment (START) criteria, 0 to 6 with the European EU(7)-PIM list, and 0 to 12 with the Swedish set of indicators of prescribing quality. The areas under the ROC curve for the 3 sets to identify the reference standard for inadequate drug treatment were 0.60 (95% CI, 0.53-0.66) for the STOPP/START criteria, 0.69 (95% CI, 0.63-0.75) for the EU(7)-PIM list, and 0.73 (95% CI, 0.67-0.80) for the Swedish set. For comparison, the area under the ROC curve was 0.71 (95% CI, 0.65-0.78) using the number of drugs in the medication list.

Conclusions and Relevance

In this diagnostic study, the evaluated PIM/PPO sets had poor to fair performance as diagnostic tools to identify inadequate drug treatment, comparable with a simple count of the number of drugs in the medication list. These findings suggest that use of PIMs/PPOs as indicators of drug treatment quality in core outcome sets for the evaluation of interventions for improved prescribing may need reconsideration.
