Gerontonet score consists of 6 variables (>4 comorbid, heart failure, liver disorder, amount of drug, history of ADR, and kidney failure); score of ≥4 at presentation identified that the patient is at high risk of ADR. The result of this study showed the variables that mostly determine score was GFR ≤60 mL/min/1,73 m2; 15 participant at high risk of ADR (≥4); and amount of drugs used for treatments; and 9,7% (6/62) kind of drugs used for treatments was included in STOPP criteria: furosemide, aspirin, digoxin, and NSAID (diclofenac, ketoprofen, and meloxicam).
