This observational study using real-world primary care data identified older age and non-selective NSAID use as most predictive for inappropriate PPI use. The study also showed that unnecessarily continued PPI therapy is common in patients using PPI therapy for dyspepsia or as ulcer prophylaxis. Future initiatives on reducing inappropriate PPI use should target these patient groups.
