Reason for filing the claim, harm category, and harm\u2010causing events were recorded. Incident analysis was conducted for each claim based on the Eindhoven criteria and AI\u2010assisted qualitative analysis. A large language model was used to identify and interpret the interplay between the contributory factors. Perceived avoidability of harm was based on a 6\u2010point rating system.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 125 claims of approved patient harm were included and reviewed. Based on the Eindhoven incident analysis, the most frequent root causes were human related factors (monitoring, verification and clinical knowledge among others) followed by organizational factors (management priorities, protocols and workplace culture), illustrating complex interrelationships.
