Implications of the medication regimen complexity index score on hospital readmissions in elderly patients with heart failure: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: The likelihood of elderly patients with heart failure (HF) being readmitted to the hospital is higher if they have a higher medication regimen complexity index (MRCI) compared to those with a lower MRCI. The objective of this study was to investigate whether there is a correlation between the MRCI score and the frequency of hospital readmissions (30-day, 90-day, and 1-year) among elderly patients with HF.

Methods: In this single-center retrospective cohort study, MRCI scores were calculated using a well-established tool.
