Suspected Adverse Drug Reactions

Objective: The objective of the study was to study the pattern of suspected adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted in the Department of Pharmacology of a Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital, Kerala. As part of pharmacovigilance activities, the ADRs were collected in Central Drug Standard Control Organization Suspected ADR reporting form from various departments during a period of 3 months and recorded in Pharmacovigilance register maintained by the pharmacology department. As part of our study, we collected the details such as patient’s initials, age, gender, reporting department of hospital, description of the ADR, duration of the reaction, name of suspected ADRs, and outcome from the Pharmacovigilance register. Descriptive statistics will be used for data analysis by statistical package for the social science for windows 16. Results: Two hundred and twenty-two ADR from 141 patients obtained during a period of 3 months. The maximum ADR reports were in age group more than 50 years of age. The skin and appendages were most affected followed by gastrointestinal tract. Antineoplastic drugs accounted for 59.7% of drug class suspected for ADRs followed by use of more than one drug (14.1%). Among antineoplastic drugs, cyclophosphamide and carboplatin accounted for majority causes of ADR. The antibiotics accounted for 12.7% of all drugs. Among the antibiotics penicillin and cephalosporins caused most of the ADRs. Conclusion: The maximum number of ADR reported in our study was with the use of antineoplastic drugs and most common ADR reported was alopecia.

Background: Adverse drug reactions are due to hazards of drug therapy and can occur with any class of drugs. The aim of this study was to evaluate and record adverse drug reactions reported from various departments of a tertiary care hospital.Methods: A Cross Sectional study conducted in a tertiary care hospital for a period of 4 months from March to June 2017 after Institutional Ethics Committee approval. ADRs reports collected and analyzed for causality, severity and preventability by international standardized scales.Results: A total of 38 ADR’s were reported during the study period with male predominance (58%). Most of the ADR’s (42%) were common in patients in the age group 19-39 years. More number of ADR’s were from Medicine (29%). Most commonly affected organ systems were skin (45%). The drugs mostly accounted were antibiotics (55%) especially Cephalosporins (33%). According to Naranjo’s causality assessment scale 74% of reactions were probable, 26% were possible, Modified Hartwig and Seigel severity assessment scale revealed 45% ADRs to be moderate, 42% were mild and 13% were severe, Modified Schumock and Thorton Preventability assessment scale which revealed 61% ADRs were not preventable, 32% were probably preventable,7% were definitively preventable.Conclusions: Adverse Drug Reactions are common and some of them resulted in increased healthcare cost due to need of some interventions and increased length of hospital stay. The health system should promote the spontaneous reporting of ADR’s. The proper documentation and periodic reporting to Pharmacovigilance Centres is required to ensure drug safety.
