AB  - OBJECTIVE: To study the prevalence of adverse events (AEs) associated with 
      neonatal transport, and to categorize, classify and assess the risk estimation of 
      these events. METHODS: Written comments in 1082 transport records during the 
      period 1999-2011 were reviewed. Comments related to events that infringed on 
      patient and staff safety were included as AEs, and categorized and further 
      classified as complaint, imminent risk of incident/negative event, actual 
      incident or actual negative event. AEs were also grouped into emergency or 
      planned transports, and risk estimation was calculated according to a risk 
      assessment tool and defined as low, intermediate, high or extreme risk. RESULTS: 
      AEs (N = 883) were divided into five categories: logistics (n = 337), 
      organization (n = 177), equipment (n = 165), vehicle (n = 129) and 
      medical/nursing care (n = 75). Eighty-five percent of AEs were classified as 
      incidents or negative events. The majority of AEs were estimated to be of low or 
      intermediate risk in both planned and emergency transports. AEs estimated to be 
      of high or extreme risk were significantly more frequent in emergency transports 
      (OR = 10.1; 95% CI: 5.0-20.9; p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: AEs are common in both 
      planned and emergency neonatal transport, often related to imperfect transport 
      logistics or equipment failure. AEs of high or extreme risk were more frequent in 
      emergency transports.
