BACKGROUND: Limited research exists regarding Medication Regimen Complexity Index (MRCI) and its utility in identifying patients at risk for hospital readmission.
OBJECTIVE: This study evaluates the association between discharge MRCI and 30-day rehospitalization in patients with heart failure (HF) after discharge.
METHODS: The study involved a retrospective, cohort study at a large tertiary teaching facility from the University HealthSystem Consortium. The consortium database was used to identify HF patients hospitalized from January 2011 to December 2013. A 30-day readmission was defined as being readmitted to the same hospital within 30 days of discharge with a principal discharge diagnosis of HF. Index hospitalizations was defined as the first hospitalization, and readmission was the subsequent hospitalization for HF. A pilot analysis was conducted to compare manual MRCI collection tool and a computerized scoring MRCI system. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the association of computerized MRCI (≥15) and 30-day rehospitalization after controlling for other variables.
RESULTS: A total of 1,452 patients were included in the study with 81 patients (5.9%) readmitted within 30 days of discharge. The manual and computerized MRCIs were correlated with an R of 0.74 and R2 of 0.55. The multivariate logistic regression analysis found computerized MRCI ≥15 (OR: 1.62; 95% CI: 1.01-2.59) was associated with 30-day rehospitalization after controlling for other factors. Patients prescribed angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers, were less likely (OR: 0.54; CI: 0.33-0.89) to be readmitted 30 days after discharge, and patients with coronary artery disease were more likely (OR: 1.76; CI: 1.03-3.00) to be readmitted 30 days after discharge.
CONCLUSIONS: The computerized MRCI score was moderately correlated with manual MRCI score. A significant association was found between computerized MRCI and 30-day HF readmission. Such predictive tools may allow pharmacists to prioritize patient care and optimize patient outcomes through medication therapy management.
