Polypharmacy was defined by the Youden index (\u22658 medications). ARSI adherence was measured by medication possession ratio (\u22650.8) from initiation to discontinuation, assessed over 6 months. Acute care use was defined as any inpatient hospitalization or emergency visit within 6 months. Demographic characteristics were compared by\n                      <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2010tests\/\u03c7\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      .

Polypharmacy was present in 50.6% of patients before ARSI initiation, whereas ARSI nonadherence in the 6 months post\u2010initiation was 34.0%. Polypharmacy and adherence were not significantly associated. In adjusted analyses controlling for demographic, clinical, and treatment factors, both polypharmacy (IRR, 1.59; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.28\u20131.98) and ARSI nonadherence (IRR 2.50; 95% CI, 2.00\u20133.03) independently prognosticated higher acute care use.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Medication burden, as characterized by suboptimal adherence and polypharmacy, is an independent risk factor for acute care use among older adults initiating ARSI treatment for metastatic prostate cancer.
