Title of the Project:

Relationship between medication error and patient harm due to adverse
drug effects.

Background: Several primary care databases have been established in
the United Kingdom that include longitudinal records of morbidity and
drug prescription data on several million people with up to 20 years
follow-up, including The Health Information Network (THIN-GPRD
equivalent), and MediPlus. Ascertainment of drug exposure (except for
over-the-counter preparations) and morbidity can be almost complete.
It is possible to use these databases to detect medication errors and
patterns of non-compliance in patients, and associated patient
morbidity such as increase in adverse drug reactions (ADRs).

This project aims to establish the prevalence and type of medication
errors in an adult UK population using primary care data and two
classes of drug (i) statins (ii) fluoroquinolones, and assess risk
arising from medication error in relation to patient morbidity. Recent
relevant publications are given below:

prescribing errors in hospital inpatients: an overview of the research
methods. Drug Saf 2005;28(10):891-900.
