Analysis of Clinical Characteristics of Adverse Drug Reactions Caused by Antibacterial Drugs in Elderly Patients in a Hospital
Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of adverse drug reactions(ADRs)caused by antibacterial drugs in elderly patients in the hospital,and provide a reference for the clinically safe use of antibacterial drugs in elderly patients.Methods:A total of 80 elderly patients with ADRs caused by antibacterial drugs reported by XinSteel Central Hospital from January 2018 to June 2022 were used as the research objects.The information on the types and routes of administration of related antibacterial drugs,and the clinical manifestations and severity of ADRs was collected to analyze the clinical characteristics of ADRs related to antibacterial drugs in elderly patients.Results:The main antibacterial drugs involved in the 80 cases of ADRs were quinolones(33 cases,41.25%)and β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor compound preparations(27 cases,33.75%).The specific varieties involved were mainly cefoperazone-sulbactam sodium,piperacillin-tazobactam sodium,levofloxacin and moxifloxacin.The route of administration of the antibacterial drugs involved in the 80 cases of ADRs was mainly intravenous drip(70 cases,87.50%).The main organs(or systems)involved in the 80 cases of ADRs were skin and appendages of skin(32 cases,40.00%),central and peripheral nervous systems(20 cases,25.00%),and gastrointestinal system(16 cases,20.00%).Among the 80 cases of ADRs,10 were severe ADRs,and the others were general ADRs.Conclusion:The proportion of quinolones and β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor compound preparations is high among the antibacterial drugs causing ADRs in elderly patients,especially their intravenous drip formulations.Therefore,it is necessary to clinically strengthen the medication management and monitoring of antibacterial drugs in elderly patients to ensure the safe medication of patients.
