Why the study?

Older adults experience difficulties monitoring drug therapy in the first 30 days after discharge, a transitional care period that may trigger hospital readmissions.

Population

Two hundred fifty-five older adults hospitalized in a public hospital

Comparison

Factors associated with readmission within 30 days vs no readmission

Design

Cross-sectional study

Follow-up

30 days
