Association between nonadherence to medication changes and adverse events in 30‐days post discharge
| Exposure | Events | Person‐days | Incidence rate a (95% CI) | Adjusted b HR (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adherent to all changes | 226 | 17 802 | 1.27 (1.11‐1.44) | Reference |
| Adherent to some of the changes | 520 | 39 702 | 1.31 (1.20‐1.43) | 1.10 (0.94‐1.30) |
| Not adherent to any of the changes | 114 | 8 086 | 1.41 (1.12‐1.69) | 1.35 (1.06‐1.71) |
a
Events/100 person‐days.
b
Adjusted for number of preadmission prescribers, whether the patient had at least one ED visit prior to admission, the unit the patient was discharged from, presence of cardiac arrhythmia, or metastatic cancer and the time‐varying number of new medications filled with high risk of harm.
