The American Geriatrics Society updated Beers Criteria for potentially inappropriate medication use in older adults is now available. 
美国老年病学会发表了新一版的以减少潜在的对老年人用药不适的Beers标准。
The update differs in several ways from the 2003 edition. Medications that are no longer available have been removed, and drugs introduced since 2003 have been added. Research on drugs included in earlier versions has been updated and new information is provided about appropriate prescribing of medications for an expanded list of common geriatric conditions.
