Scant data on the safety of drug use in children are usually available at the time of marketing authorization, due to the limited number of trials performed in the paediatric population. Few studies monitored the incidence of ADRs in Italian hospitalized children, that cannot be compared for methodological reasons. A 6-month prospective observational study was, therefore, conducted on the paediatric wards of five hospitals in the Campania Region, Italy. Data were collected on all patients admitted to the wards during the study period through a structured questionnaire administered to the mothers and through a hospital chart review. Of the 752 patients enrolled, 86.2% were exposed to one or more drugs during hospitalization. The therapeutic class most prescribed was systemic antibacterial agents (47%). Six ADRs occurred during hospitalization (incidence 0.9%;95% CI 0.2% - 1.7%). In addition, one child was admitted to a hospital for an ADR. Five out of seven ADRs occurred in girls. The skin was the most affected organ. The medications implicated were amoxicillin, acyclovir, ibuprofen, ceftriaxone, paracetamol, and ranitidine. According to the Naranjo probability criteria, six ADRs were probably, and one possibly, related to the suspected drug. In conclusion, this study reveals that ADRs may be under-reported in children hospitalized in the Campania Region. Consequently, healthcare personnel should be alert to the possibility of ADRs. More accurate reporting of ADRs in children would result in safer use of drugs in such patients.展开更多

METHODS： Eligible articles were identified by searches of electronic databases. We included all randomized trials that compared azithromycin-containing with standard triple-therapy regimens for first-line treatment of H pylori infection. Statistical analysis was performed with Review Manager 5.0.10. Sub-analyses were also performed. RESULTS： We identified 14 randomized trials （1431 patients）. Pooled Hpylori eradication rates were 72.01% （95% CI： 58.09%-85.93%） and 69.78% （95% CI： 66.47%-73.09%） for patients with or without azithromycin by intention-to-treat analysis, and the odds ratio （OR） was 1.17 （95% CI： 0.64-2.14）. The occurrence of side effects differed significantly and was 15.81% （95% CI： 12.50%-19.12%） and 25.20% （95% CI： 21.44%-28.96%） for treatment with or without azithromycin, respectively, and the summary OR was 0.58 （95% CI： 0.41-0.82）. Furthermore, the azithromycin-containing group had a lower occurrence of diarrhea, nausea and taste disturbance. CONCLUSION： Our review suggests that azithromycincontaining triple-therapy regimens could be equally effective in eradication of Hpylori compared with standard first-line triple-therapy regimens.展开更多
