The analysis was based on registers of medications dispensed within the framework of additional drug provision over 2019–2021 period. We conducted an integrated study combining ABC/VEN analysis and the Beers criteria to assess the rationality of pharmacotherapy.</p></sec><sec><title>Results</title><p>Results. The analysis of the cost structure for medicines showed a positive trend in the distribution of categories V, E, N (vital, essential, nonessential) in A, B, C groups. In 2019, 13.7% of the budget was spent on the procurements of drugs of N category; in 2020, this indicator was 10.6%; and in 2021, the costs for the procurements of drugs of N category decreased to 2.6%. Expenditures for drugs in V and E categories increased from 86.3% to 97.4%. The prevalence of polypragmasy (prescription frequency of 5 or more drugs with different international nonproprietary names per patient for month) among patients over 65 years old reached 11% in 2019, 13% in 2020, and 1% in 2021. According to the Beers criteria, patients over 65 years old were prescribed potentially inappropriate drugs according to the Beers criteria in 12.03% of cases in 2019, in 10.84% of cases in 2020, and in 9.7% of cases in 2021.</p></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>Conclusion. Due to comprehensive ABC/VEN analysis and the Beers criteria tool it was possible to evaluate the rationality of expenditures on additional drug provision over the period from 2019 to 2021, as well as the rationality of prescribing medications to patients over 65 years old. The use of Beers criteria enables to optimize pharmacotherapy in elderly patients.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><sec><title>Цель</title><p>Цель: провести фармакоэкономическую оценку рациональности назначения лекарственных средств (ЛС) и анализ частоты назначения потенциально неприемлемых ЛС пациентам старше 65 лет на примере дополнительного льготного лекарственного обеспечения.</p></sec><sec><title>Материал и методы</title><p>Материал и методы. Материалом для анализа послужили реестры ЛС, отпущенных в рамках дополнительного лекарственного обеспечения в 2019–2021 гг. Мы провели комплексное исследование, объединив ABC/VEN-анализ и оценку по критериям Бирса для определения рациональности фармакотерапии.</p></sec><sec><title>Результаты</title><p>Результаты. Анализ структуры затрат на ЛС показывает положительную тенденцию в распределении категорий V, E, N (англ. vital, essential, non-essential – жизненно важные, необходимые, второстепенные) в классах A, B, C. В 2019 г. на закупку ЛС категории N было потрачено 13,7% бюджета, в 2020 г. – 10,6%, а в 2021 г. расходы на закупку ЛС категории N сократились до 2,6%. Затраты на препараты категорий V и Е выросли с 86,3% до 97,4%. Распространенность полипрагмазии (частота назначений 5 и более ЛС с различными международными непатентованными наименованиями на одного пациента в месяц) среди больных старше 65 лет в 2019 г. составила 11%, в 2020 г. – 13%, в 2021 г. – 1%. В 2019 г. пациентам старше 65 лет потенциально неприемлемые ЛС по критериям Бирса были назначены в 12,03% случаев, в 2020 г. – в 10,84%, в 2021 г. – в 9,7% случаев.</p></sec><sec><title>Заключение</title><p>Заключение. Благодаря применению комплексного ABC/VEN-анализа и критериев Бирса удалось оценить рациональность расходования денежных средств на дополнительное лекарственное обеспечение за период 2019–2021 гг. и рациональность назначения ЛС пациентам старше 65 лет. Использование критериев Бирса позволяет оптимизировать фармакотерапию у пожилых пациентов.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Рациональная фармакотерапия</kwd><kwd>ABC/VEN-анализ</kwd><kwd>критерии Бирса</kwd><kwd>полипрагмазия</kwd><kwd>потенциально неприемлемые лекарственные средства</kwd><kwd>пожилые пациенты</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Rational pharmacotherapy</kwd><kwd>ABC/VEN analysis</kwd><kwd>Beers criteria</kwd><kwd>polypragmasy</kwd><kwd>potentially inappropriate drugs</kwd><kwd>elderly patients</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Фролов М.Ю., Барканова О.Н., Шаталова О.В.
