Contributing Factors to Safety: What Hospitalized Patients Can Tell Us? A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in The International journal of health planning and management, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundBrazil has the second-highest COVID-19 mortality rate worldwide. While there are currently no guidelines for involving patients in their own safety, recognising patients' valuable feedback can be decisive for the safety and quality of healthcare. Thus, this study aimed to describe the patient feedback on factors contributing to safety in patients hospitalised with COVID-19 in Brazil and to examine associations with patient sociodemographic and clinical characteristics.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted in nine Brazilian university hospitals. Data collection using the Patient Measure of Safety (PMOS) questionnaire was conducted by telephone with 447 patients who recovered from COVID-19. Descriptive and multilevel linear regression models were used to verify the sociodemographic characteristics associated with PMOS.
resultsPatients felt safer when they accessed healthcare resources, when health professionals communicated well, and when they had good teamwork skills. Sociodemographic and clinical factors influenced the patient's perception of safety. A lower perception of safety was observed among patients aged 18-39 years old, of mixed race, and who had more than six symptoms during hospitalisation. Higher perceptions of safety were identified among patients with higher education, who lived in the countryside, and who required admission to the ICU.
conclusionsThis study highlighted the potential for patients to become crucial allies in ensuring safety within hospital settings by providing insights into their care, and how sociodemographic characteristics can influence the perception of safety.
