Abstract
During hospitalization, older adults’ outpatient medication regimens are frequently changed.1,2 Medication changes may be related to the condition for which the patient was hospitalized (eg, cessation of antiplatelet therapy or initiation of proton pump inhibitor therapy in a patient hospitalized for gastrointestinal bleeding). However, changes may also be made to medications prescribed for chronic conditions that are not directly related to the reason for hospitalization.Keywords
