2 Medication Administration Errors in Children Outpatient medication administration errors are frequent >% caregivers give an incorrect dose of liquid medicine (Frush 4; Li ; Simon 1997; McMahon 1997) Medication administration errors account for % of preventable pediatric outpatient ADEs (Zandieh 8)
3 Dosing Instruments and Medication Errors Parent choice of measuring device important for dosing accuracy Non-standardized kitchen spoons inaccurate Standardized dosing instruments Many types, variability Oral syringes used by health professionals for maximal accuracy Few studies have examined parent ability to dose with the range of available instruments
4 Health Literacy & Medication Errors In adults, low health literacy has been linked to poor comprehension of Rx labels (Davis 6) non-adherence (Osborn 7; Gazmararian 6; Kalichman 1999) Few studies have assessed the role of parent health literacy and medication errors in children Parent ability to use dosing instruments accurately
5 Study Objective To assess rates of parent dosing error by instrument type To examine the role of parent health literacy in the accurate use of dosing instruments
6 Study Design Experimental study Urban public hospital pediatric outpatient clinic Eligibility criteria Parent / legal guardian Responsible for administering medication to child English / Spanish language
7 Predictor Variables Two predictor variables Dosing Instrument Type Caregiver Health Literacy (HL)
8 Predictor Variable: Dosing Instrument Type Let s pretend your child is 3 years old, and has a fever. You find out that the right dose for your child is 1 teaspoon or 5 ml. Please measure this amount using each dosing instrument. CUP #1 CUP #2 SPOON ORAL SYRINGE + PRESS-IN BOTTLE ADAPTER DROPPER ORAL SYRINGE
9 Predictor Variable: Dosing Instrument Type Parents asked to dose 1 teaspoon or 5 ml using 4 types of instruments Order of dosing with each instrument randomized CUP #1 CUP #2 SPOON DROPPER ORAL SYRINGE
10 Predictor Variable: Dosing Instrument Type Parents asked to dose 1 teaspoon or 5 ml using 4 types of instruments Order of dosing with each instrument randomized ORAL SYRINGE + PRESS-IN BOTTLE ADAPTER CUP #1 DROPPER ORAL SYRINGE CUP #2 SPOON
11 Predictor Variable: Health Literacy Caregiver Health Literacy (HL) Newest Vital Sign (NVS) Food label 6 accompanying questions Validated in English and Spanish Categorization Adequate Literacy Possible Limited Literacy Limited Literacy
12 Outcome Variable: Observed Dosing Accuracy Standard bottle of children s acetaminophen suspension % Deviation From Dose Parent Measured Dose Wt compared to Reference Measured Dose Wt Reference Measured Dose Wt = Average Measured Dose Weight of 5mL for 5 pediatricians using the oral syringe Measured Dose Weight = minus Wt of Instrument Containing Measured Dose Pre-assessment Empty Instrument Weight
13 Standard bottle of children s acetaminophen suspension Measured Dose Wt = Outcome Variable: Observed Dosing Accuracy Wt of Instrument Containing Measured Dose minus Pre-assessment Empty Instrument Weight % Deviation From Dose Parent Measured Dose Wt compared to Reference Measured Dose Wt Reference Measured Dose Wt = Average Measured Dose Weight of 5mL for 5 pediatricians using the oral syringe
14 Outcome Variable: Observed Dosing Accuracy (cont d) Parent dose considered accurate if within % of reference dose (Yin 8; Kozer 2; Simon 1997) Small error Deviation of >-% from dose Large error Deviation of >% from dose Conservative, compared to USP USP: Standard volumetric error should be within % for dosing instruments
15 Potential Confounders Caregiver Age Relationship to child Language Ethnicity Country of birth SES Child Presence of child <8y in household # of children Presence of child in household with chronic illness

42 Summary Parent dosing accuracy varies by instrument Fewer errors with droppers dosing spoons, and syringes Dosing cups associated with the most errors; primarily overdosing Parent health literacy also found to be associated with dosing accuracy Greatest association seen for the two dosing cups and the dosing spoon
43 Limitations Dosing assessment performed under experimental conditions, may not reflect caregiver s true ability to dose at home Representative sample of instruments chosen; all dosing instrument variations could not be tested The degree to which the dosing errors found would be associated with adverse clinical outcomes unclear Multiple cutpoints utilized
44 Implications Strategies to decrease medication dosing errors in children should address Accurate dosing instrument use Parent health literacy skills Additional study needed to better understand the factors which relate instrument type to error
