Treatment, outcomes, and adherence to medication regimens among dual Medicare-Medicaid-eligible adults with myocardial infarction.
The purpose of the study was to examine the association of dual-eligible status with clinical outcomes and adherence to medication regimens among older adults after MI. The investigators found that compared with Medicare-only patients, older adults with dual Medicare-Medicaid eligibility presenting with MI had superior rates of medication adherence but higher rates of postdischarge readmission and adverse cardiovascular outcomes.
