A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was then performed using significant questions (i.e., those with a <em>P</em>-value of &lt;0.05), and cut-off values were obtained.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Overall, 3 items, comprising 2 of the draft MSC questions and the use of ≥5 medications, were designated as the MSC-3. The area under the ROC curve was 0.686 (95 % confidence interval: 0.582–0.778, <em>P</em> &lt; 0.001), indicating that the MSC-3 was useful as a screening tool. When at least one of the MSC-3 items was met, this approach resulted in a sensitivity of 93.1 % and specificity of 21.7 % in identifying the need for polypharmacy intervention.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusions</h3><div>Use of the MSC-3 will enable pharmacists to intervene at an early stage, potentially contributing to a reduction in the incidence of polypharmacy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":100119,"journal":{"name":"Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics Plus","volume":"1 4","pages":"Article 100092"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142593025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
