Medication errors, paediatric incidence

Ghaleb and Wong s review (2006) demonstrates that the spontaneous reporting systems tend to yield a lower rate of paediatric medication errors than the other methods. This is due to underestimation and under-reporting. In contrast, observation methods tend to find higher incidences than the other two methods. These published reports confirm that paediatric medication errors are at least as common as errors in adults. A study by Kaushal and colleagues (2001) has shown that potential adverse drug events may be three times more common in children than in adults. [Pg.29]
