Abstract
One or more medication errors were detected in 32 of the 200 patients in whom reconciliation was performed at admission. Thirty-nine of the 53 medication errors were corrected by the physician. A patient interview was carried out in 75 % of cases. Criteria significantly related to risk of medication error were: female gender, admission for agitation/aggressiveness, depressive state, manifest delusional state, alcohol abuse, Quebec score > 4, high blood pressure or thyroid dysfunction, and classification as “long-term disease”. No psychiatric criteria were significantly associated with risk of medication error.
