Table 2.

Medication use following index hospital discharge stratified by primary reason for the index hospitalization. Primary analysis assumes that post-discharge medications are those that the patient was using at the time of index hospital admission plus those that were added between index hospital discharge and readmission (or 30 days, which ever came first). The sensitivity analysis subtracts medications not refilled during 120 days following the index hospitalization.
