[Screening for cerebral arteriovenous malformations in patients with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia].

Patients with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) are known to suffer from cerebral arteriovenous malformations (CAVMs). In this review, we explore existing literature for bleeding risk, interventional therapy and neuroradiological features in HHT-related CAVMs. Studies estimate the annual intracerebral haemorrhage rate of CAVMs in HHT patients to be 0.

Patients Own Safety Incidents Reports to the Danish Patient Safety Database Possess a Unique but Underused Learning Potential in Patient Safety.

Objective: The aim of the study was to analyze how patients' own reports of safety incidents to the Danish Patient Safety Database can contribute to patient safety.

Background: Patient involvement enhances patient safety; however, there is a shortage of tools capable of systematically capturing and usage of patients' own reports. Since 2012, the Danish Patient Safety Database (DPSD) has comprised such a tool.
