Article Synopsis
- About 60,000 cancer diagnoses occur in Belgium annually, with 12-13% of patients being readmitted within 30 days, often due to drug-related problems (DRP).
- The study aimed to classify and quantify DRP-related readmissions and identify risk factors over a 6-month retrospective observational period at two Brussels hospitals.
- Out of 299 studied patients, 41.1% were readmitted due to DRP, with significant risk factors like low comorbidity, polypharmacy, hospital type, and certain chemotherapy types identified to help reduce these readmissions.
