ME: Medication error; OR: Odds ratio by univariate logistic regression; 95% CI: 95% confidence interval; AOR: Adjusted odds ratio by multiple logistic regression adjusted for gender, profession category, years of service, frequency of ME encountered in practice and perceived handling of ME by management.
