Prioritisation of Adverse Drug Events Leading to Hospital Admission and Occurring during Hospitalisation: A RAND Survey.

ABSTRACT: (1) Adverse drug events (ADEs) are a common cause of emergency department visits and occur frequently during hospitalisation. Instruments that facilitate the detection of the most relevant ADEs could lead to a more targeted and efficient use of limited resources in research and practice. (2) We conducted two consensus processes based on the RAND/UCLA appropriateness method, in order to prioritise ADEs leading to hospital admission (panel 1) and occurring during hospital stay (panel 2) for inclusion in future ADE measurement instruments. In each panel, the experts were asked to assess the "overall importance" of each ADE on a four-point Likert scale (1 = not important to 4 = very important). ADEs with a median rating of ≥3 without disagreement were defined as "prioritised". (3) The 13 exper
