Inappropriate care, such as under- or over-treatment or unnecessary hospitalizations, can place patients at risk for adverse events. This observational study set in a high-complexity hospital in Spain found that patients with inappropriate hospital admissions (IHA) have a higher risk of subsequent adverse events, contributing to longer stays and additional costs.
