- - This study focused on identifying and analyzing medication prescribing errors (MPE) in critically ill children at a pediatric intensive care unit, finding a total error rate of 14% across 1129 medication orders.
- - The most common types of MPEs were found in antihypertensives, antimycotics, and nasal drugs, with 70% of errors requiring intervention or causing patient harm.
- - The research highlights important risk factors for MPEs, aiming to improve patient safety and reduce future errors in prescriptions by understanding their frequency and severity.
