AB  - OBJECTIVE: This study aims to associate adverse events related to health care 
      with another indicator of quality of care such as hospital mortality, and 
      determining the proportion of adverse events (AEs) and associated factors in 
      deceased patients. METHODS: First a descriptive study of hospital-based mortality 
      was performed, followed by a case-control study in deceased patients. We studied 
      the presence of AEs, the probability which they could be predicted and prevented, 
      and their association with several factors. RESULTS: The proportion of AEs found 
      was 19.8% (82/414), and the proportion of deceased patients who suffered an AE 
      was 15.5% (64/414). The AE ratio per person was 1.28. The most common AE was 
      nosocomial infection, and 48.8% of all AEs were preventable. No difference was 
      found with the presence of an AE by age or sex. Factors associated with the 
      presence of AEs were surgery, length of stay and hospital unit to which patients 
      were admitted. DISCUSSION: The proportion of AEs found between patients who died, 
      the percentage of preventable AEs, the most common AE (nosocomial infection) and 
      the association of their presence with stay and the surgery should make us focus 
      on the development of measures to reduce hospital stay and the dissemination of 
      information on prevention and control of nosocomial infection.
