Implicit measurement of actual inappropriate prescribing predicted ADE risk, an important clinical outcome. This finding helps confirm the validity of prior studies that have relied on explicit measures to link potentially inappropriate prescribing to adverse health outcomes.
QTpd and PCAr could be useful indices for exercise-induced myocardial ischemia. Determining the QTpd of a patient after exercising can improve the diagnostic accuracy of ischemia in a routine clinical setting.
