Incidence and impact of adverse drug events contributing to hospital readmissions in kidney transplant recipients.
This longitudinal cohort study examined 3 cohorts (no readmissions, readmissions not due to an adverse drug event, and adverse drug events contributing to readmissions) of adult kidney recipients transplanted between 2005 and 2010 and followed through 2013. The study results demonstrated that adverse drug events may be associated with a significant increase in the risk of hospital readmission after kidney transplant and subsequent graft loss.
