2000 - Enquête nationale UTAH COLORADO des EIG

11/08/2015

Thomas, E., Studdert, L., Burstin, H.Orav, E., Zeena, T., Williams, J., & al. Incidence and types of Adverse events and negligent care in Utah and Colorado. Medical Care, 2000, 38(3), 261-271.

Résumé

We used methods similar to the Harvard Medical Practice Study to estimate the incidence and types of adverse events and negligent adverse events in Utah and Colorado in 1992.

We selected a representative sample of hospitals from Utah and Colorado and then randomly sampled 15,000 non psychiatric 1992 discharges. Each record was screened by a trained nurse-reviewer for 1 of 18 criteria associated with adverse events. If > or =1 criteria were present, the record was reviewed by a trained physician to determine whether an adverse event or negligent adverse event occurred and to classify the type of adverse event.The measures were adverse events and negligent adverse events. Results:  Adverse events occurred in 2.9+/-0.2% (mean+/-SD) of hospitalizations in each state. In Utah, 32.6+/-4% of adverse events were due to negligence; in Colorado, 27.4+/-2.4%. Death occurred in 6.6+/-1.2% of adverse events and 8.8+/-2.5% of negligent adverse events. Operative adverse events comprised 44.9% of all adverse events; 16.9% were negligent, and 16.6% resulted in permanent disability. Adverse drug events were the leading cause of non operative adverse events (19.3% of all adverse events; 35.1% were negligent, and 9.7% caused permanent disability). Most adverse events were attributed to surgeons (46.1%, 22.3% negligent) and internists (23.2%, 44.9% negligent). Conclusions: The incidence and types of adverse events in Utah and Colorado in 1992 were similar to those in New York State in 1984. Iatrogenic injury continues to be a significant public health problem. Improving systems of surgical care and drug delivery could substantially reduce the burden of iatrogenic injury.

Mon avis

Première répétition de l’étude de Brennan de Harvard de 1991 dans deux autres états US, mêmes résultats.
