Clinical outcomes of adverse drug reaction-related hospital admissions in older adults with diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

This is a retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the association of adverse drug related (ADR)-related hospital admissions with adverse clinical outcomes, including in-hospital mortality, length of stay (LOS), and hospital readmission among older adults with diabetes.

Methods

All individuals aged 65 years and older with diabetes who were admitted to the three major public hospitals in Tasmania, Australia, between July 2017 and December 2023 were identified using International Classification of Diseases codes. Patients with at least one ADR-related hospital admission were propensity score matched with and those without ADR-related admissions based on age, sex, year of index admission, diagnosis-related groups, socioeconomic status, and comorbidities.
