It is important to determine whether the occurrence of such events increases the risk of unfavorable legal or ethical decisions.  Objective: To assess the association between the occurrence of a reportable preventable event and unfavorable legal and ethical decisions in medical liability processes against obstetricians.  Materials and methods: Case-control study. Population: obstetricians affiliated to FEPASDE, with legal or ethical claims closed between 1999 and 2014 in Colombia. Cases: obstetricians with unfavorable judicial decision in malpractice claims. Controls: obstetricians with a favorable judicial decision. Sample: 322 subjects (64 cases, 258 controls). Analysis: variables concerning the obstetrician, the institution, the process, and the patient were measured. Bi-varied and multivaried analyses with a logistic regression model were conducted, using a propensity score or index.  Results: An association was identified between the occurrence of the reportable preventable event and an unfavorable ruling (OR=4,4; CI 95%: 2,23 - 8,76). Other associated factors included: private institution (OR = 2.3 95% CI: 1.14-4.51), type of civil claim (OR = 14.1 95% CI: 5.51-36.04), product diagnosis-demise (OR = 3.1 95% CI: 1.64-5.94), history of other unfavorable proceedings (OR = 2.3 95% CI: 1.27-4.06). Inadequacies in the prevention and medication therapy were associated with an unfavorable ruling (P &lt; 0.05).  Conclusion: The presence of reportable preventable events is associated with an unfavorable legal or ethical decision in malpractice claims involving obstetricians. Inadequate patient management and poor functioning of the hospital care system provide opportunities for intervention to reduce the risk of an unfavorable legal or ethical decisions in malpractice claims.]]></p></abstract>

Objetivo: Evaluar la asociación entre la ocurrencia de un evento reportable prevenible y las decisiones judiciales y éticas desfavorables en procesos de responsabilidad médica contra obstetras.  Materiales y métodos: Estudio de casos y controles. Población: Obstetras vinculados a FEPASDE con procesos judiciales o éticos cerrados entre 1999 -2014 en Colombia. Casos: obstetras con decisión judicial desfavorable en procesos de responsabilidad médica. Controles: obstetras con una decisión judicial favorable. Muestra: 322 sujetos (64 casos, 258 controles). Análisis: se midieron variables del obstetra, la institución, del proceso, de la paciente. Análisis bi y multivariado con un modelo de regresión logística y la utilización del puntaje o índice de propensión.  Resultados: Se encontró asociación entre la presencia de evento reportable prevenible y una decisión judicial desfavorable (OR=4,4; IC 95%: 2,23 - 8,76). Otros factores asociados fueron: institución privada (OR = 2,3 IC 95%: 1,14 - 4,51), tipo de proceso civil (OR = 14,1 IC 95%: 5,51 - 36,04), diagnóstico del producto -óbito (OR = 3,1 IC 95%: 1,64 - 5,94), antecedente de otros procesos en contra (OR = 2,3 IC 95%: 1,27 - 4,06). Deficiencias en la prevención y en el tratamiento con medicamentos se asociaron a una decisión judicial desfavorable (p &lt; 0.05).  Conclusiones: La presencia de eventos reportables prevenibles se asocia a una decisión judicial o ética desfavorable en procesos de responsabilidad médica en Obstetras. Las deficiencias en el manejo del paciente y en funcionamiento del sistema de atención hospitalaria ofrecen oportunidades de intervención para reducir el riesgo de tener una decisión judicial o ética desfavorable en procesos de responsabilidad médica.]]></p></abstract>
