OBJECTIVE: To determine the feasibility of accurately assessing the types of hospital adverse drug reaction (ADR) surveillance systems. DESIGN: Cross-sectional survey by mailed, self-administered questionnaire followed by selected verification interviews. SETTING: Harris County, Texas. PARTICIPANTS: All hospitals in the county with different pharmacy directors. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Self description of surveillance system and number of ADRs reported. RESULTS: Forty-nine of 61 hospitals (80 percent) responded to a questionnaire. Forty-seven (96 percent) of the responding hospitals collected information on ADRs with 11 (22 percent) describing their surveillance system as active. Those individuals most often cited as responsible for ADR surveillance included pharmacists, quality assurance personnel, and nurses. Data were verified by personal interviews for 10 hospitals. The number of ADRs reported during the interviews was significantly lower than that reported in the questionnaires. Overall, the reporting of fatal and severe ADRs were more reliable than the reporting of moderate ADRs. These differences were the result of inadequate documentation and the lack of a uniform definition of ADRs. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that a large-scale ongoing survey of surveillance systems and reported adverse event rates has limitations and the reliability of data derived from a questionnaire should be verified. To improve the accuracy of surveys used to monitor hospital ADR surveillance systems, it is essential to develop reliable definitions for classifying ADRs and surveillance methods, as well as accurate measures of ADR documentation procedures.

ABSTRACT Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality and contribute to the incidence of adverse events, resulting in increased healthcare costs. Healthcare providers need to understand their role and responsibility in the detection, management, documentation, and reporting of ADRs. The purpose of this study is to provide guidelines regarding the procedure of reporting ADRs to hospital authority. It was a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out between April and August 2013. The study population included doctors, nursing personnel, paramedical staff and quality managers of tertiary care hospital from one public and two private hospitals. Interaction was done with study population against the back drop of the checklist and ADR policy was formulated. How to cite this article Singh S, Gupta SK, Arya S, Sharma DK, Aggarwal V.

 Adverse drug reaction (ADR) is an injury caused by taking medication. ADR may occur following single dose or prolong administration of drug or combination of two or more drugs. While major advancements of discipline of pharmacovigilance have taken place in the West, not much has been achieved in Asian countries. Labour is characterised by forceful and painful uterine contraction that result in cervical dilation and foetus decent from the birth canal. Anti-spasmodic drugs like hyoscine butylbromide and valethamate bromide have been used to accelerate cervical dilation and thus reduce the labor duration. The objective was to observe ADR with hyoscine and valethamate for cervical dilation during labor. It was a hospital based cross sectional study. Investigation was carried out in the form of questionnaire. All the consecutive patients who were in active stage of labor were included in the study. They were given Intravenous (IV) valethamate bromide 8mg and hyoscine butylbromide 20mg, 3 doses half an hour apart. After administration of the drug, the progress of labor was monitored and management was done as per protocol in obstetrics and gynaecology department. ADR reported were blurred vision in 47.7% of the patients, followed by dry mouth (36.9%) and tachycardia (19.2%). Other ADRs were nausea (6.2%), dizziness (3.8%), flushing (2.3%), vomiting (1.5%), fever (1.5%) and constipation (1.5%). No statistical significance was found when ADR was compared between the age group of 18-25 years and 26-35 years. Therefore, ADR reported were irrespective of the age of the patients and no life threatening or severe forms of ADR were seen with hyoscine and valethamate during cervical dilation.
