UROT related to SAE surveillance in neurosurgical patients was considered feasible. The association of surveillance and MMCs allowed staff to concentrate on the analysis of most frequent or most severe AEs and was a practical and useful tool to stimulate improvement. The impact on healthcare quality of SAE surveillance associated with MMC warrants further research.

The leaflet did not improve patient recall of information about SSI, but it was associated with an increased level of satisfaction. The association between the leaflet and judging SSI as always preventable was unexpected.

Surveillance of TIVA-AE associated with MMC is feasible and helps change practices. It could be useful for improving care of patients undergoing cancer chemotherapy.

According to these results, there are between 1 and 2.5 million HCS estimated in France. The HCS in this study's patient population from emergency services seem to be more socially disadvantaged than other smokers and have less frequent access to care. Prevention messages must be adapted for this population who is easily identifiable in general practice.
