Zusammenfassung: | Background
Identifying patients at high risk of drug‐related hospital admission (DRA) may help to efficiently target preventive interventions. We developed a score to predict DRAs in older patients with multimorbidity and polypharmacy.
Methods
We used participants from the multicenter European OPERAM trial (“Optimising PharmacothERapy in the Mutlimorbid Elderly”). We assessed the association between easily identifiable predictors and 1‐year DRAs by univariable logistic regression. Variables with p‐value |
