AB  - OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the Global 
      Assessment of Pediatric Patient Safety (GAPPS) in order to identify patient 
      safety incidents with patient harm or adverse events (AEs). METHODS: This is a 
      cross-sectional, retrospective study of 240 records of hospitalized patients of 
      both genders under 18 years of age, systematically and randomly selecting 10 
      charts of patients that meet the GAPPS criteria every 15 days from the 4,041 
      records of 2017. RESULTS: The prevalence of AEs was 12.5%, i.e., detected in 30 
      out of 240 medical records. In total, 53 AEs and 63 harm were recorded, of which 
      53 (84.1%) were temporary and 43 AE (68.2%) were definitely or probably 
      preventable. The presence of at least one trigger in a medical chart revealed 13 
      times greater chance of the occurrence of an AE, with sensitivity index of 48.5%, 
      specificity of 100%, and accuracy of 86.5%. CONCLUSION: GAPPS was effective in 
      detecting patient safety incidents with harm or AE.
