Methods for assessing the preventability of adverse drug events: a systematic review.
Hakkarainen KM, Sundell KA, Petzold M, et al. Methods for assessing the preventability of adverse drug events: a systematic review. Drug Saf. 2012;35(2):105-26. doi:10.2165/11596570-000000000-00000.
This systematic review identified 18 unique instruments for assessing the preventability of adverse drug events. However, there is a paucity of evidence on the validity of these instruments, and many do not appear sufficiently reliable for wider use.
