Preventability of drug-related
revisits
The random sample of 400
participants experienced a total of 522 unplanned hospital revisits
during follow-up (338 hospital admissions and 184 ED visits), of which
181 (35%) were possibly drug-related visits: 128 (38%) possibly
drug-related readmissions and 53 (29%) possibly drug-related ED visits
(Figure 2). In total, 85 (47% of all possibly drug-related visits and
16% of all unplanned visits) visits were potentially preventable: 68
preventable drug-related readmissions (20% of all unplanned
readmissions) and 17 preventable drug-related ED visits (9.4% of all
unplanned ED visits).
