Objective
To study the relation between housestaff coverage schedules and the occurrence of preventable adverse events.
Design
Case-control study.
Setting
Urban teaching hospital.
Patients
All 3146 patients admitted to the medical service during a 4-month period.
Measurements
A previously tested confidential self-report system to identify adverse events, which were defined as unexpected complications of medical therapy that resulted in increased length of stay or disability at discharge.
A panel of three board-certified internists confirmed events and evaluated preventability based on case summaries.
Housestaff coverage was coded according to the day in the usual intern's schedule and to cross-coverage status.
