Data collection method | Adverse events were detected by a physician in the surveyed department from a detection questionnaire. |
Classifications used | Data quality control was carried out in three stages: |
Quality procedure(s) used | - The CCECQA (Coordination Committee for Clinical Evaluation and Quality in Aquitaine) carried out checks in institutions to verify proper data collection conduct, adherence to the method, as well as the completeness and quality of collected data. - Researchers and research associates coded questionnaires and checked for completeness and consistency. - All questionnaires were reviewed by CCECQA methodologists. Problematic records (unclear; inconsistent; complex clinical situation; episodes, causes or impact of an unusual event, etc.) were reviewed by a case review committee and, if required, by field experts. |
