Do older adults with dual Medicare-Medicaid eligibility presenting with MI have different rates of medication adherence and adverse outcomes compared to Medicare-only patients?
Do older adults with dual Medicare-Medicaid eligibility presenting with MI have different rates of medication adherence and adverse outcomes compared to Medicare-only patients?
Despite better medication adherence, dual Medicare-Medicaid eligible older adults with MI face higher risks of readmission and adverse cardiovascular outcomes than Medicare-only patients, highlighting a vulnerable population needing targeted interventions.
Dual-eligible MI patients face excess risk despite adherence; hypothesis-generating for targeted interventions to address disparities.
Compared with Medicare-only patients, older adults with dual Medicare-Medicaid eligibility presenting with MI have superior rates of medication adherence but higher rates of postdischarge readmission and adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
