Missed Doses, Missed Opportunities: Readmission Due to GLP-1RA Interruption Inspires Algorithms to Improve Reinitiation of Therapy at Discharge
This case highlights the need for clearer guidance on the reinitiation of GLP-1 RAs after missed doses while in the hospital. Using available literature, algorithms were generated to provide recommendations when more than 1 weekly GLP-1 RA dose is missed. These algorithms provide guidance for providers during transitions of care and may be studied prospectively to validate their application in a real-world setting.
