Medication-related hospitalisations in patients with SLE.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Patients with SLE take multiple medications. Within a large prospective longitudinal SLE cohort, we characterised medication-related hospitalisations and their preventability.

Methods

We identified consecutive admissions to our tertiary hospitals between 2015 and 2020. Two independent adjudicators evaluated if medication-related events contributed to the hospitalisation, considering (1) adverse drug events (ADEs) and (2) events from medication non-adherence, using the Leape and Bates method. We classified ADEs as potentially preventable/ameliorable if we identified modifiable factors. Logistic regressions with generalised estimating equations evaluated associations between participant characteristics and medication-related hospitalisations, accounting for repeat h
