Unintended discontinuation of medication following hospitalization: A retrospective cohort study

BMJ Open Jun 10, 2019

Redmond P, et al. - Through a retrospective cohort study of 20,488 patients aged 65 years or more carried out by the researchers to determine post hospitalization unintended discontinuation of common, evidence-based, long-term medication and factors associated with it and association among continuity of medication in general practice and the presence of documentation of medication at hospital discharge. Evidence-based long-term medication discontinuity was common. An independent correlation between increasing age and private medical care and a higher risk of medication discontinuity was noticed. Less than half of the hospitalized patients had medication recorded on their hospital discharge summary, although no link between discontinuity and hospitalization was concluded.
