Re: Side Effects Severely Under-reported In ENT Medical Journals

Excerpt:
The authors believe this information is significant because of the
increasing role that harms and adverse events have played in medical
decision making. Harms often serve as the pre-eminent issues that
arise in making guideline recommendations.

The authors note that because these results mirror those found in
other medical fields, there is a widespread need for improvement
within the medical community at large in reporting harms and adverse
events.

Side Effects Severely Under-reported In ENT Medical Journals

ScienceDaily (Sep. 29, 2008) — Harms and adverse events (untoward side
effects of surgery or medicine) have been under-reported or poorly
described at an alarming low rate by the publishing authors in the
four leading otolaryngology medical journals, according to new
research presented at the 2008 American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head
and Neck Surgery Foundation (AAO-HNSF) Annual Meeting & OTO EXPO, in
Chicago, IL.*
