Hospital Admissions due to Medication‐Related Harm in the Last 5 Years of Life: A Cohort Study
In our cohort of decedents, one-third had at least one hospitalisation due to MRH in their final 5 years. Higher risk was associated with being under 70 years of age, living in metropolitan or aged care settings and having multiple or specific chronic conditions. These results highlight the need for targeted interventions for high-risk individuals nearing the end of life.
