Exposures were patient, provider, and facility factors that could influence PPI prescribing. The outcome was time to a filled PPI prescription exceeding the approved treatment duration for PUD. Associations were assessed using a multivariable time\u2010to\u2010recurrent\u2010event model to calculate adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) and population\u2010attributable fractions. Patients who developed indications for long\u2010term PPI use were censored.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>We identified 7708 patients with PUD who met eligibility criteria and received PUD treatment (median age 79 [IQR 71\u201385], 7% female). Thirty\u2010five percent had PPI prescriptions exceeding the approved duration for a median of 346\u2009days (IQR 165\u2013643) of overuse. On the patient level, inpatient PUD diagnosis (aHR 1.32, 95% CI 1.25\u20131.39), use of nonsteroidal anti\u2010inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (aHR 1.26, 95% CI 1.18\u20131.34), use of anticoagulants (aHR 1.25, 95% CI 1.13\u20131.38), and moderate frailty (1.15, 95% CI 1.06\u20131.26) had the strongest associations with filled PPI prescriptions exceeding the approved duration. On the health\u2010system level, inpatient PUD diagnosis had the highest peak population attributable fraction at 0.26, followed by NSAIDs and anticoagulants at 0.18.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Markers of patient complexity and medication use not meeting gastroprotection guidelines are associated with inappropriate PPI persistence among patients with PUD.
