Seliger SL, Zhan M, Hsu VD, et al. Chronic kidney disease adversely influences patient safety. J Am Soc Nephrol. 2008;19(12):2414-9. doi:10.1681/ASN.2008010022.
This study found that patients with chronic kidney disease experienced more hospital adverse events as measured by AHRQ Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs). Similar to past research, the findings highlight the potential for specific preventive strategies that may benefit this patient population.
