Despite efforts in improving medication safety, administration errors are still common, resulting significant clinical and economic impact. Studies conducted using a valid reliable tool to assess impact lacking, the best of our knowledge, studies evaluating among neonates not yet available. Therefore, this study aimed determine potential neonatal intensive care units identify factors associated with these errors. A national level, multi centre, prospective direct observational was five...
Introduction Medication administration errors (MAEs) are the most common type of medication error. Furthermore, they more among neonates as compared with adults. MAEs can result in severe patient harm, subsequently causing a significant economic burden to healthcare system. Targeting and prioritising at high risk is crucial reducing MAEs. To best our knowledge, there no predictive score available for identification Therefore, this study aims develop validate prediction model identify Methods...
