Potential adverse drug events and its predictors among hospitalized patients at medical center in Ethiopia: a prospective observational study

Abstract Potential adverse drug event (PADE) is a medication error with the potential to cause associate degree injury however that does not cause any injury, either due to specific circumstances, chance, or as a result of the error being intercepted and corrected. This study aimed to assess the inc...
