Clear identification of studies that identified the contributory factors of active failures was hampered by the lack of consistent terminology used across studies.
Circulating IL-7 levels are low in active rheumatoid arthritis, and this may be a contributory factor to the reduced size and suppressor function of the CD4+CD25high regulatory T-cell population in this disease.
Across study settings, the five contributory factors identified most frequently were active failures (slips, lapses, mistakes, deviations from policy) (18.2%), individual factors (11%), communication (7.9%), equipment and supplies (6.6%) and management of staff and staffing levels (5.8%).
Adhesion molecules are contributory factors toward metastatic activity.
11 14 The framework (see figure 2) explicitly presents contributory factors at a number of different levels (active failures, situational factors, local working conditions, and organisational and external latent factors), which is a welcome addition to the literature.
The authors found that two main contributory factors related to patient safety incidents were active failures (i.e., any failure in performance by the end-user) and individual factors (i.e., characteristics of the persona delivering the case that may contribute in some way to active failures) [ 4].
(d) Contributory factors of behaviours or processes that were not active failures (eg, factors affecting the likelihood of staff to report serious medication errors in hospitals 25 ).
