Drug related hospital admissions: the role of definitions and intensity of data collection, and the possibility of prevention
Abstract
Abstract. Three hundred and thirty‐three consecutive patients in a medical ward were evaluated in a high‐intensity monitoring scheme for drug events as a cause of hospitalization. Taking into consideration only ‘definite’ and ‘probable’ drug events, we found 36 cases (10.8%) of all admissions to be drug‐related hospitalizations (DRH). Of these, 8.1% were adverse drug reactions and 2.7% were therapeutic failures due to ineffective dosage. In 8 cases (2.4%) the drug event could definitely have been avoided, and a further 13 cases (3.9%) were considered to have been potentially avoidable if appropriate measures had been taken by the health service. In 19 cases (53%) the referring physician was unaware of the drug‐related problem. Those patients admitted because of a drug event were taking significantly more drugs than other individuals. The avoidable drug events pointed to the primary health care physicians as the appropriate targets for preventive measures in terms of intensified drug education. The study demonstrated that a reliable estimate of the DRH rate requires active data collection by a qualified health service worker in close collaboration with the patient's family doctor in cases of suspected DRH.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
