| Sumario: | Background and Objectives: adverse events are a major public health problem. The purpose of the study was to characterize the main adverse events with harm reported in a teaching hospital in Minas Gerais.

Pearson’s chi-square test was applied in order to verify the association between categorical variables.

In the observation of statistically significant results, the Z test was applied to compare proportions with adjustments by the Bonferroni method. Results: a total of 445 adverse events were reported, being the highest number in 2018 (61.8%) involving “Abrasion and friction” process (44.7%), which correspond to grades 3 and 4 pressure injuries.
