Additive Benefit of Guideline-Directed Medical Therapies at Discharge in Reducing 30-Day Readmissions in Heart Failure
Increasing number of GDMT classes prescribed at discharge was associated with a gradient reduction in 30-day all-cause and HF readmissions, with a stronger effect seen with higher GDMT counts. Implementing comprehensive GDMT strategies at discharge may reduce health care costs and enhance institutional performance under national quality metrics.
