The regression analysiswas used to explore the effects of continuous three-level nursing quality management on the incidence of adverse events and severity. Results Continuous three-level nursing quality management could reduce the incidence of adverse events (R2=0.278, F=5.421, P<0.05) and decrease the severity (R2=0.73, F=3.872, P<0.05) with statistical differences.
