The data which is the subject of this paper came from the FAERS database. This paper reports on the analysis of data covering 2013 to 2018 period, but compares the observed trends in the variables during this period with that of the 2007 to 2012 period to ascertain whether the trends change over time;as this paper is, in a sense, a sequel to an earlier one with a similar title as this but covering the period 2007 to 2012. Objectives: The objectives of the study reported in this paper were to: i) explore the trends in the variables involved with the adverse events problem in the 2013 to 2018 period and compare these trends with that found in the study covering the 2007 to 2012 period;ii) determine whether or not the level of missing variable values in the 2013 to 2018 period is lower than, the same or higher than it was in the 2007 to 2012 period;iii) find out how the first twenty principal suspect drugs most cited to be involved in adverse events occurring during drug use in the 2013 to 2018 period compare with that of the 2007 to 2012 period. Methods: The Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) makes extracts from the FAERS database freely available to the public on quarterly basis. Fourteen (14) out of over fifty (50) variables contained in these extracts were reckoned to be connected with the objectives of the study and were examined using the tools of frequencies, proportions and averages, on account of the nature of the data. Results: For the period 2013 to 2018, adverse events reports submitted to the FDA (US) more than doubled (2.1 times), accounting for an annual average growth rate of 15.8 %, which is considerably lower than the annual average growth rate of 22.1% for the 2007 to 2012 period. However, the reported number of cases for 2015 was 53.8% more than that of 2014. Consistent with the results for 2007 to 2012 period, the 2013 to 2018 period saw Female subjects accounting for over 60% of the annual and the overall number of reports. Overall, non-health professionals appear to have a slight edge over health professionals in reporting adverse drug events in the 2013 to 2018 period, with an indication that reports from non-health professionals are on the decline and that from health professionals is on the rise. Non-health professionals and health professionals were almost equally likely to report adverse events in the 2007 to 2012 period. Also, the findings for the 2013 to 2018 period suggest that the older one gets the more vulnerable one becomes to adverse events associated with drug use, which is consistent with the findings for the 2007 to 2012 period. Conclusion: The dangers that come with the use of drugs is an evolving one and therefore there is the need to examine SRS data from time to time so that emerging drug safety concerns can be dealt with timeously.展开更多

However,only a small proportion of ADR reports are actually forwarded to the national monitoring center. To identify the reasons for underreporting,the authors investigated the awareness and attitudes of healthcare professionals (doctors,nurses,and administrators) toward the ADR system in China. In addition,the authors sought to formulate approaches to improve the current ADR reporting system.Methods Structured interviews were carried out in 16 hospitals selected from 27 municipal hospitals in Wuhan,Hubei Province,China. A questionnaire survey of a stratified random sample of approximately 15% of healthcare professionals in each selected hospital was conducted during February to March 2003.Results The response rate of this survey was 85%. One thousand six hundred and fifty-three questionnaires were used in the final analysis. Only 2.7% of the healthcare professionals had a correct understanding to the definition of ADR. Eighty-nine point two percent of the healthcare professionals had encountered ADRs. Ninety-four percent of them were aware of the need to report these to the ADR monitoring center. However,only 28.5% of doctors,22.8% of nurses,and 29.7% of administrators actually submitted a report. For the most part,they reported ADRs to the hospital pharmacy (66.0%),to other departments in the hospital (72.5%),and to the pharmaceutical industry (23.0%),rather than to the national monitoring center (2.9%) or regional monitoring center (9.5%). Severe or rare ADRs and ADRs to new products were generally perceived to be significant enough to report. Sixty-two point one percent of the healthcare professionals had encountered ADRs,yet not reported them to anybody. The major reasons for not reporting included no knowledge of the reporting procedure (71.4%),unavailability of the reporting center mailing address (67.9%),unavailability of the ADR report form (60.4%),lack of knowledge of the existence of a national ADR reporting system (52.2%),and belief that the ADR in question was already well known (44.1%). Conclusions Healthcare professionals in Wuhan,China have little basic knowledge of ADR and of the voluntary reporting system. The main reasons for underreporting were lack of basic knowledge about ADRs and the voluntary reporting procedure. Education and training of healthcare professionals is needed to improve the current ADR reporting system.展开更多

文摘Objective:To explore the application and effect evaluation of the integrated“5A and 3+3”management model in ensuring safe medication use for chemotherapy patients.Methods:A total of 100 intravenous chemotherapy patients admitted to the oncology department of Shaanxi Provincial People’s Hospital were randomly divided into two groups using a random number list method.Both groups received conventional nursing management during chemotherapy,while the study group additionally received the integrated“5A and 3+3”safety management model.The nursing intervention effects between the two groups were compared.Results:After the intervention,the study group showed higher levels of self-management ability,compliance,and nursing satisfaction compared to the control group.The overall incidence of adverse events during hospitalization was lower in the study group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The knowledge scores of medical staff in the study group,related to the prevention and treatment of chemotherapy drug side effects,daily symptom management,and daily life management,were higher than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion:Implementing the integrated“5A and 3+3”model in the safe medication management of intravenous chemotherapy patients can effectively enhance patients’self-management abilities and compliance,improve medical staff’s ability to safely administer chemotherapy drugs,reduce adverse events caused by chemotherapy,and increase patient satisfaction.
文摘Background: The Spontaneous Reporting System (SRS) of the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) of the United States of America (US), known as the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), is a mechanism for collecting information on safety concerns associated with the use of drugs for redress, as they are used on large scale. The data which is the subject of this paper came from the FAERS database. This paper reports on the analysis of data covering 2013 to 2018 period, but compares the observed trends in the variables during this period with that of the 2007 to 2012 period to ascertain whether the trends change over time;as this paper is, in a sense, a sequel to an earlier one with a similar title as this but covering the period 2007 to 2012. Objectives: The objectives of the study reported in this paper were to: i) explore the trends in the variables involved with the adverse events problem in the 2013 to 2018 period and compare these trends with that found in the study covering the 2007 to 2012 period;ii) determine whether or not the level of missing variable values in the 2013 to 2018 period is lower than, the same or higher than it was in the 2007 to 2012 period;iii) find out how the first twenty principal suspect drugs most cited to be involved in adverse events occurring during drug use in the 2013 to 2018 period compare with that of the 2007 to 2012 period. Methods: The Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) makes extracts from the FAERS database freely available to the public on quarterly basis. Fourteen (14) out of over fifty (50) variables contained in these extracts were reckoned to be connected with the objectives of the study and were examined using the tools of frequencies, proportions and averages, on account of the nature of the data. Results: For the period 2013 to 2018, adverse events reports submitted to the FDA (US) more than doubled (2.1 times), accounting for an annual average growth rate of 15.8 %, which is considerably lower than the annual average growth rate of 22.1% for the 2007 to 2012 period. However, the reported number of cases for 2015 was 53.8% more than that of 2014. Consistent with the results for 2007 to 2012 period, the 2013 to 2018 period saw Female subjects accounting for over 60% of the annual and the overall number of reports. Overall, non-health professionals appear to have a slight edge over health professionals in reporting adverse drug events in the 2013 to 2018 period, with an indication that reports from non-health professionals are on the decline and that from health professionals is on the rise. Non-health professionals and health professionals were almost equally likely to report adverse events in the 2007 to 2012 period. Also, the findings for the 2013 to 2018 period suggest that the older one gets the more vulnerable one becomes to adverse events associated with drug use, which is consistent with the findings for the 2007 to 2012 period. Conclusion: The dangers that come with the use of drugs is an evolving one and therefore there is the need to examine SRS data from time to time so that emerging drug safety concerns can be dealt with timeously.
文摘Objective In this study,we aimed to determine the incidence of adverse drug reactions(ADRs)of atezolizumab,identify ADR signals that are significantly related to atezolizumab,and provide a reference for the rational use of atezolizumab in the clinic through the statistical analysis of its adverse drug events(ADEs)reported in the American Food and Drug Administration(FDA)Adverse Event Reporting System(FAERS)database.Methods In total,4796 cases of atezolizumab ADEs reported in the American FAERS database from 2017 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The top three ADEs were febrile neutropenia(3.7%),anemia(2.9%),and acute renal failure(2.3%).In addition,the incidence rates of some ADEs were significantly different according to sex and age.The systematic organ classification of atezolizumab ADEs involved 32 systems,among which the top three were blood and lymphatic system disorders(585 cases,12.2%),gastrointestinal disorders(433 cases,9.0%),and infections and infestations(401 cases,8.4%).The reporting odds ratio(ROR)method was used to detect the ADR signals of atezolizumab.The ROR(95%confidence interval)of the top ADE,febrile neutropenia,was 39.236(33.757–45.604).In addition,we found 121 cases of complications associated with immune-related ADEs.Conclusion The ADRs of atezolizumab reported in the FAERS database were consistent with those mentioned in the instructions for atezolizumab use,suggesting that atezolizumab has an acceptable and controllable drug effect.
文摘Background A voluntary procedure for reporting adverse drug reactions (ADRs) was formally put in place in 1989. However,only a small proportion of ADR reports are actually forwarded to the national monitoring center. To identify the reasons for underreporting,the authors investigated the awareness and attitudes of healthcare professionals (doctors,nurses,and administrators) toward the ADR system in China. In addition,the authors sought to formulate approaches to improve the current ADR reporting system.Methods Structured interviews were carried out in 16 hospitals selected from 27 municipal hospitals in Wuhan,Hubei Province,China. A questionnaire survey of a stratified random sample of approximately 15% of healthcare professionals in each selected hospital was conducted during February to March 2003.Results The response rate of this survey was 85%. One thousand six hundred and fifty-three questionnaires were used in the final analysis. Only 2.7% of the healthcare professionals had a correct understanding to the definition of ADR. Eighty-nine point two percent of the healthcare professionals had encountered ADRs. Ninety-four percent of them were aware of the need to report these to the ADR monitoring center. However,only 28.5% of doctors,22.8% of nurses,and 29.7% of administrators actually submitted a report. For the most part,they reported ADRs to the hospital pharmacy (66.0%),to other departments in the hospital (72.5%),and to the pharmaceutical industry (23.0%),rather than to the national monitoring center (2.9%) or regional monitoring center (9.5%). Severe or rare ADRs and ADRs to new products were generally perceived to be significant enough to report. Sixty-two point one percent of the healthcare professionals had encountered ADRs,yet not reported them to anybody. The major reasons for not reporting included no knowledge of the reporting procedure (71.4%),unavailability of the reporting center mailing address (67.9%),unavailability of the ADR report form (60.4%),lack of knowledge of the existence of a national ADR reporting system (52.2%),and belief that the ADR in question was already well known (44.1%). Conclusions Healthcare professionals in Wuhan,China have little basic knowledge of ADR and of the voluntary reporting system. The main reasons for underreporting were lack of basic knowledge about ADRs and the voluntary reporting procedure. Education and training of healthcare professionals is needed to improve the current ADR reporting system.
文摘BACKGROUND This manuscript describes the first known cases of sick sinus syndrome(SSS)associated with the use of anlotinib in non-small cell lung cancer patients,highlighting the need for increased vigilance and cardiac monitoring.CASE SUMMARY Two patients with non-small cell lung cancer developed SSS after 15 months and 5 months of anlotinib treatment,respectively,presenting with syncope and palpit-ations.Electrocardiogram confirmed SSS,and different treatment approaches were taken for each patient.One patient received a dual-chamber permanent pacemaker,while the other discontinued the medication and experienced symptom resolution.CONCLUSION Anlotinib can induce SSS,suggesting that cardiac monitoring is crucial during anlotinib treatment.Individualized management strategies are necessary for affected individuals.

文摘Drug-induced liver injury(DILI)is a type of bizarre adverse drug reaction(ADR)damaging liver(L-ADR)which may lead to substantial hospitalizations and mortality.Due to the general low incidence,detection of L-ADR remains an unsolved public health challenge.Therefore,we used the data of 6.673 million of ADR reports from January 1st,2012 to December 31st,2016 in China National ADR Monitoring System to establish a new database of L-ADR reports for future investigation.Results showed that totally 114,357 ADR reports were retrieved by keywords searching of liver-related injuries from the original heterogeneous system.By cleaning and standardizing the data fields by the dictionary of synonyms and English translation,we resulted 94,593 ADR records reported to liver injury and then created a new database ready for computer mining.The reporting status of L-ADR showed a persistent 1.62-fold change over the past five years.The national population-adjusted reporting numbers of L-ADR manifested an upward trend with age increasing and more evident in men.The annual reporting rate of L-ADR in age group over 80 years old strikingly exceeded the annual DILI incidence rate in general population,despite known underreporting situation in spontaneous ADR reporting system.The percentage of herbal and traditional medicines(H/TM)L-ADR reports in the whole number was 4.5%,while 80.60%of the H/TM reports were new findings.There was great geographical disparity of reported agents,i.e.more cardiovascular and antineoplastic agents were reported in higher socio-demographic index(SDI)regions and more antimicrobials,especially antitubercular agents,were reported in lower SDI regions.In conclusion,this study presented a large-scale,unbiased,unified,and computer-minable L-ADR database for further investigation.Age-,sex-and SDI-related risks of L-ADR incidence warrant to emphasize the precise pharmacovigilance policies within China or other regions in the world.

文摘BACKGROUND Vancomycin is often used as an anti-infective drug in patients receiving antitumor chemotherapy.There are concerns about its adverse drug reactions during treatment,such as nephrotoxicity,ototoxicity,hypersensitivity reactions,etc.However,potential convulsion related to high plasma concentrations of vancomycin in children receiving chemotherapy has not been reported.CASE SUMMARY A 3.9-year-old pediatric patient with neuroblastoma receiving vancomycin to treat post-chemotherapy infection developed an unexpected convulsion.No other potential disease conditions could explain the occurrence of the convulsion.The subsequently measured overly high plasma concentrations of vancomycin could possibly provide a clue to the occurrence of this convulsion.The peak and trough plasma concentrations of vancomycin were 59.5 mg/L and 38.6 mg/L,respectively,which were much higher than the safe range.Simulation with the Bayesian approach using MwPharm software showed that the area under the concentration-time curve over 24 h was 1086.6 mg·h/L.Therefore,vancomycin was immediately stopped and teicoplanin was administered instead combined with meropenem and fluconazole as the anti-infective treatment strategy.CONCLUSION Unexpected convulsion occurring in a patient after chemotherapy is probably due to toxicity caused by abnormal pharmacokinetics of vancomycin.Overall evaluation and close therapeutic drug monitoring should be conducted to determine the underlying etiology and to take the necessary action as soon as possible.

文摘Coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19),caused by the infection of a novel coronavirus[severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2)],has become a pandemic.The infection has resulted in about one hundred million COVID-19 cases and millions of deaths.Although SARS-CoV-2 mainly spreads through the air and impairs the function of the respiratory system,it also attacks the gastrointestinal epithelial cells through the same receptor,angiotensin converting enzyme 2 receptor,which results in gastroenteric symptoms and potential fecal-oral transmission.Besides the infection of SARS-CoV-2,the treatments of COVID-19 also contribute to the gastroenteric manifestations due to the adverse drug reactions of anti-COVID-19 drugs.In this review,we update the clinical features,basic studies,and clinical practices of COVID-19-associated gastroenteric manifestations.
文摘BACKGROUND Pregabalin is widely used to treat neuropathic pain associated with postherpetic neuralgia.To our knowledge,this is the first report on simultaneously occurring dose-related adverse drug reactions(ADRs)of balance disorder,asthenia,peripheral edema,and constipation in an elderly patient after pregabalin.CASE SUMMARY A 76-year-old female with a history of postherpetic neuralgia was prescribed pregabalin(300 mg daily).After taking pregabalin for 7 d,the patient developed balance disorder,weakness,peripheral pitting edema(2+),and constipation.On days 8-14,the pregabalin dose was reduced to 150 mg/d based on creatinine clearance.The patient’s peripheral edema improved significantly with the disappearance of all other adverse symptoms.On day 15,the pregabalin dose was increased to 225 mg/d to relieve pain.Unfortunately,the symptoms mentioned earlier gradually reappeared after 1 wk of pregabalin treatment.However,the complaints were not as severe as when taking 300 mg/d pregabalin.The patient consulted her pharmacist by telephone and was advised to reduce the dose of pregabalin to 150 mg/d and add acetaminophen(0.5 g,q6h)to relieve pain.The patient’s ADRs gradually improved over the following week.CONCLUSION Older patients should be prescribed a lower initial dose of pregabalin.The dose should be titrated to the maximum tolerable dose to avoid dose-limiting ADR.Dose reduction and the addition of acetaminophen may help limit ADR and improve pain control.
