Represents the results of stepwise regression analysis after inserting the independent variables
| Variables | r |
|---|---|
| Pharmacist counseling | 0.141 - |
| Number of chronic medications | 0.131 |
| Age | 0.054 |
| Sex | 0.074 - |
By analyzing the stepwise regression, it is noticed that the relation between medication adherence and readmissions is not statistically significant [F (1,73) = 9.43, n.s]. None of the other variables can explain the variance in the number of readmissions
