TL;DR
An important incidence of AE was revealed in three Colombian hospitals, these being mainly preventable, and ongoing monitoring as a part of risk management systems could reduce costs and AE-associated morbidity and mortality.
Abstract
This study revealed an important incidence of AE in three Colombian hospitals, these being mainly preventable. Their ongoing monitoring as a part of risk management systems could reduce costs and AE-associated morbidity and mortality.

78,934 Citations1977J. Richard Landis, Gary G. Koch
A general statistical methodology for the analysis of multivariate categorical data arising from observer reliability studies is presented and tests for interobserver bias are presented in terms of first-order marginal homogeneity and measures of interob server agreement are developed as generalized kappa-type statistics.

4,666 Citations1991Troyen A. Brennan, Lucian L. Leape +7 more
The incidence of adverse events, defined as injuries caused by medical management, and of the subgroup of such injuries that resulted from negligent or substandard care, in New York State in 1984 were estimated.

2,350 Citations2004G. Ross Baker
The overall incidence rate of AEs of 7.5% in this study suggests that, of the almost 2.5 million annual hospital admissions in Canada similar to the type studied, about 185 000 are associated with an AE and close to 70 000 of these are potentially preventable.

These results suggest that adverse events are a serious source of harm to patients and a large drain on NHS resources.

1,908 Citations2003Alan J. Forster, Harvey J. Murff +3 more
The incidence and severity of adverse events affecting patients after discharge from the hospital to home were determined and two board-certified internists independently reviewed to determine whether medical management caused an injury and, if so, whether it was preventable or ameliorable.

This study shows that there is a wide range of potential causes of adverse events that should be considered, and that careful attention must be paid to errors with interactive or administrative causes.

BMJIncidence and types of preventable adverse events in elderly patients: population based review of medical records
423 Citations2000Eric J. Thomas
Preventable adverse events were more common among elderly patients, probably because of the clinical complexity of their care rather than age based discrimination and should be targets for efforts to prevent errors.

411 Citations2000Sebastian Schneeweiß, Malcolm Maclure
Comorbidity scores, particularly the CDS or D'Hoore's CI based on three-digit ICD-9 codes, may be useful in exploratory data analysis, however, residual confounding by comorbidities is inevitable, given how these scores are derived.

372 Citations2004Philippe Michel, Jean Luc Quenon +2 more
The prospective method of data collection may be more appropriate for epidemiological studies that aim to convince clinical teams that their errors contribute significantly to adverse events, to study organisational and human factors, and to assess the impact of risk reduction programmes.
