Association between potentially inappropriate medications and 30-day outcomes among hospitalized older adults with reduced physiologic reserve: a retrospective cohort study
Peng Liang
Objectives To investigate the independent effect of potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) on 30-day adverse post-discharge outcomes (unplanned readmissions or emergency department [ED] visits) among hospitalized older adults after strictly controlling for confounders, such as polypharmacy and psychological comorbidities, and to identify high-risk phenotype in patients with reduced physiologic reserve and specific drug classes associated with adverse outcomes.MethodsThis retrospective coho
