NCT ID NCT04181775
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a risk prediction tool called ADE-RED, designed to identify emergency department patients at high risk for drug-related hospital readmissions. Researchers followed 471 patients to see if using the tool could reduce repeat visits. The goal is to improve discharge planning and prevent future drug-related emergencies.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If the tool works, it could help emergency doctors identify patients who need extra medication review before discharge, potentially reducing drug-related hospital returns.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study testing a prediction tool, not a treatment. The tool may not reduce readmissions as hoped, and results may not apply to all hospitals or patient groups.
