Secondary objectives were to identify drug classes and organ systems associated with ADEs, to assess the seriousness of ADEs, and to estimate the prevalence of serious ADEs and preventable serious ADEs.
Prevalence rates ranged between 1.6 and 74.5 % and, as expected, serious infractions displayed lower prevalence rates than minor infractions.
A 2009 study to assess the prevalence of serious infections among RA patients receiving anti-TNF therapy found that 20.5percentt of the serious infections identified were SSSTI [ 14].
Peltzer observed large variations in the prevalence of serious injury between six African countries and suggested that each country document its epidemiology of serious injuries [ 5].
The 3 month prevalence of serious ADEs in the general population was 1.2% (95% CI 0.9, 1.6%), and preventable serious ADEs 0.7% (95% CI 0.5, 1.0%).
Yet the prevalence of serious stress disorders might not be known for some time, she added.
