title: [The extra cost of care-related adverse events in hospitals].
abstract: Adverse events bring into question the safety and quality of care for patients, but also represent a significant cost for society. For example, the annual cost of nine adverse events assessed in a study by the French Institute for Research and Documentation in Health Economics (IRDES) was estimated at €682 million in 2007.
