Thirty-two percent of the respondents reported that they did not cease drugs because of the medication check. The 68% who had discontinued drugs comprise 57% who had stopped on average 1 drug and 11% who had stopped 2 drugs or more per patient. The PRIMA-eDS tool was found to be useful (69%) and the recommendations were found to help to increase awareness (86%). The greatest barrier to implementing deprescribing recommendations was the perceived necessity of the medication (69%). The majority of respondents (65%) would use the electronic medication check in routine practice if it was part of the electronic health record.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>GPs generally viewed the PRIMA-eDS medication check as useful and as informative.
