The role of iatrogenic disease in admissions to intensive care.
Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 1980We prospectively studied all patients admitted to a multidisciplinary intensive care unit to determine how many of their diseases were iatrogenic and, of these, what number were potentially avoidable.

Tenfold errors in administration of drug doses: a neglected iatrogenic disease in pediatrics.
Pediatrics, 1986We report seven cases of order of magnitude errors in the administration of drugs. The principles typical of this iatrogenic disease are discussed and possible solutions are suggested.

Pediatrics, 1958
SOME revealing papers from a Symposium under the heading "Iatrogenic Disease" appear in this issue. The rapidly increasing array of therapeutic agents affords many opportunities for the physician to do harm as well as to benefit the patient. This precarious position is not new to the physician, but in the sincere desire to rid the patient of his ...

Hospital admissions caused by iatrogenic disease.
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1986Complications of medical therapy requiring hospitalization affect the costs and quality of medical care. We studied all admissions to the medical services of a public teaching hospital to characterize current incidence and cause of iatrogenic admissions.

Iatrogenic Disease: An Epidemiologic Perspective [PDF]
International Journal of Health Services, 1974 Among the most serious problems associated with the increasing number of drugs and procedures used in contemporary medical practice is the identification of therapy-associated diseases. This overview of iatrogenic conditions illustrates some adverse reactions produced by chemical, physical, and infectious agents, with emphasis on reactions that were ...

Iatrogenic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease [PDF]
Alzheimer Disease & Associated Disorders, 1987 Over the past 2 years, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) has affected several patients who received cadaver pituitary-derived growth hormone (pit-hGH) and one patient who received a cadaveric dura mater graft. The risk of iatrogenic transmission of CJD has long been recognized, but until recently, the low prevalence of the disorder and minimal use of ...

Perhaps the earliest association of iatrogenics relates to toxicity of the many remedies. Here, primum non nocere (“do no harm”) was not the norm. Many of the early physical modalities—leeches, bleeding, heat, water therapy—all had toxic side effects. Overuse of spas, excessive mineral concentrations, and related treatments also created problems in the

Iatrogenic disease in late life.
Clinics in Geriatric Medicine, 1986Iatrogenic diseases are common in the elderly, particularly in the hospitalized patient. Adverse outcomes may be induced by poor communication with patients, inadequate history and examination, and inappropriate use of diagnostic resources. However, even when resources are used appropriately, adverse outcomes do occur, hence the price paid for ...
