OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence of preventable drug-related morbidity (PDRM) in older adults in a provider-sponsored network and identify risk factors for PDRM. METHODS: The study was based on a retrospective review of an integrated health care database, using 52 newly developed clinical indicators of PDRM. The incidence of PDRM was determined by identifying individuals in the database who matched an outcome and pattern of care associated with an indicator. Risk factors were determined through a forward inclusion logistic regression model. The subjects in this study were 3,365 older adults enrolled in a hospital-based health care system in Florida in 1997. The principal outcome measure was identification of individuals who matched a P...
