Analysis of Epidemiological Characteristics of Adverse Drug Reactions Reported by a Children's Hospital from 2019 to 2023
Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of adverse drug reactions(ADRs)reported by the hospital from 2019 to 2023,and provide a reference for clinically safe use of drugs.Methods:A total of 775 cases of ADRs reported to the National Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring System by Fuzhou Children's Hospital of Fujian Province from January 2019 to December 2023 were used as the research data.The information such as the types of ADRs reported,the age and sex of children,and the types of drugs involved in ADRs and the route of administration was collected to analyze the clinical characteristics of the reported ADRs.Results:The ADRs reported by the hospital increased year by year from 2019 to 2023.The reported types of ADRs were mainly"general"(630 cases,81.29%),followed by"severe"(88 cases,9.23%).Among the 775 cases of ADRs reported,the number of male children was more than that of female children(435 cases vs 340 cases);the age of children was mainly less than and equal to 3 years(289 cases,37.29%),followed by more than 3 years and less than 6 years(174 cases,22.45%),more than 6 years and less than 9 years(167 cases,21.55%).In terms of drugs involved in the 775 cases of ADRs,the top 5 types were antibacterial drugs(315 cases,40.65%),endocrine system drugs(75 cases,9.68%),nervous system drugs(72 cases,9.29%),anti-neoplastic drugs(71 cases,9.16%)and respiratory system drugs(64 cases,8.26%),and the top three drugs were cefotaxime sodium for injection(63 cases,8.13%),oxcarbazepine tablets(43 cases,5.55%)and ceftizoxime sodium for injection(41 cases,5.29%).The main routes of administration were intravenous administration(416 cases,53.68%),followed by oral administration(253 cases,32.65%).The main organs and systems involved in the 775 cases of ADRs were skin and appendages of skin(357 cases,46.06%),followed by digestive system(179 cases,23.10%).Conclusion:Young children are the main group with ADRs,and the involved drugs are mainly antibacterial drugs and intravenous drugs.Therefore,it is necessary to strengthen the monitoring of key groups and key drugs clinically to ensure the safe medications of children.
