Drug-related hospital readmissions are common, particularly in older adults, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to reduce preventable admissions.
Drug-related readmissions remain common in older adults; confirms burden but leaves open standardized prevention strategies due to high study variability.

Further research is needed to specify the causes of preventable readmissions and implement effective interventions to reduce medication-related hospital admissions.
