NSAIDs Prescription Prevalence after a Cardiovascular Event Related Hospitalization in Medicaid Beneficiaries from Puerto Rico.

CONCLUSION: Almost 20% of all beneficiaries who were hospitalized for a CV event received an NSAID during the study period, with 10% of patients receiving it during the immediate 90 days post-discharge. It represents a major challenge for our healthcare system, as it may reflect unawareness on the impact of proved evidence in clinical decision making. PMID: 27898167 [PubMed - in process]
