The association of acute COVID-19 infection with Patient Safety Indicator-12 events in a multisite healthcare system.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patient Safety Indicator (PSI)-12, a hospital quality measure designed by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) to capture potentially preventable adverse events, captures perioperative venous thromboembolism (VTE). It is unclear how COVID-19 has affected PSI-12 performance.

Objective

We sought to compare the cumulative incidence of PSI-12 in patients with and without acute COVID-19 infection.

Design, setting, and participants

This was a retrospective cohort study including PSI-12-eligible events at three Mayo Clinic medical centers (4/1/2020-10/5/2021).

Exposure, main outcomes, and measures

We compared the unadjusted rate and adjusted risk ratio (aRR) for PSI-12 events among patients with and without COVID-19 infection using Fisher's exa
