Serious Adverse Events: A Replicability and Validation Study of Naranjo Causality Assessment Tool in a Canadian Clinical Setting
Rationale
Patient safety has become a major concern in healthcare today as 5%–10% of patients experience serious adverse events (SAE) during their hospital stay. The causal assessment of SAE is the responsibility of healthcare professionals (HCP), who use their judgment or a standardize tool. Whether those two methods are replicable to provide similar results remains unclear.
Objective
Our aim was to evaluate if causality assessment performed by HCP is replicable when systematically assessed with the Naranjo tool and to validate its performance in Canadian clinical context.
Methods
We performed pilot retrospective cohort study which included patients with SAE admitted to a Quebec hospital in 2021. Twelve SAE were randomly selected, and two reviewers independently assessed their causality using Naranjo tool. Inter-rater reliability among two reviewers and between HCP was evaluated. Along with criterion validity, sensitivity and specificity were calculated for validation study.
Results
Weighted kappa was 0.92 (good inter-rater reliability) where kappa was 0.84 (good agreement between reviewers). No causality assessment by HCP was documented leading to impossibility in computing replicability. The Naranjo tool showed positive monotonic correlation with expert opinion resulting in rs = 0.208 (p < 0.001). Classification of Naranjo scores to binary variables resulted in sensitivity of 1.00 and specificity of 0.31.
Conclusion
Our study suggested that Naranjo tool is reliable and valid to be used in a clinical setting and was able to classify all drug products involved in the occurrence of SAE. Larger scale studies need to be conducted in real-time clinical settings to investigate its performance and utility.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice aims to promote the evaluation and development of clinical practice across medicine, nursing and the allied health professions. All aspects of health services research and public health policy analysis and debate are of interest to the Journal whether studied from a population-based or individual patient-centred perspective. Of particular interest to the Journal are submissions on all aspects of clinical effectiveness and efficiency including evidence-based medicine, clinical practice guidelines, clinical decision making, clinical services organisation, implementation and delivery, health economic evaluation, health process and outcome measurement and new or improved methods (conceptual and statistical) for systematic inquiry into clinical practice. Papers may take a classical quantitative or qualitative approach to investigation (or may utilise both techniques) or may take the form of learned essays, structured/systematic reviews and critiques.
