Triggers renal insufficiency, hyperglycemia, hyponatremia, hypotension/dizziness, and diarrhea/vomiting accounted for 86.5% (n = 340/393). The overall positive predictive value (PPV) triggers was 49.4%, the majority ADRs were caused by angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), loop diuretics, NSAIDs, potassium-sparing diuretics, and corticosteroids, which accounted for 69% all drugs involved causing ADR. Analysis relationship shows age factor influences the occurrence ADR. The conclusion shows value trigger drugs as a tool for detecting ADR in inpatient geriatric patients at RSI PKU Muhammadiyah Pekajangan Pekalongan.]]>
