detection of adverse drug reactions (adrs) in hospitals provides an important measure of the burden of drug related morbidity on the healthcare system. spontaneous reporting of adrs is scare and several obstacles to such reporting have been identified formerly. this study aimed to determine the role of clinical pharmacy residents in adr reporting within a hospital setting.clinical pharmacy resi...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Spontaneous reporting systems have several weak points, such as low reporting rates and insufficient clinical information. Active surveillance programs, such as ward rounds and a clinical data repository (CDR), may supplement the weak points of such systems. We developed active surveillance programs and compared them with existing spontaneous reporting. METHODS We collected ad...

Data-mining techniques have frequently been developed for Spontaneous reporting databases. These techniques aim to find adverse drug events accurately and efficiently. Spontaneous reporting databases are prone to missing information, under reporting and incorrect entries. This often results in a detection lag or prevents the detection of some adverse drug events. These limitations do not occur ...

Results Mean age of the participants was 24 years. More than half of them (67.1%) reported having a sexual partner and 75.8% of them reported having sexual intercourse more than once a week. The decision preceded the act by a few seconds or minutes in 82.6% of subjects. Foreplay was important, very important or essential for 97.4% of subjects, while most of them (73.5%) considered that foreplay...

Objectives. We examined whether automated electronic laboratory reporting of notifiable-diseases results in information being delivered to public health departments more completely and quickly than is the case with spontaneous, paperbased reporting. Methods. We used data from a local public health department, hospital infection control departments, and a community-wide health information exchan...

background : adverse drug reactions (adr) are ranked as some of the major causes of patient morbidity and mortality. spontaneous reporting of adrs has remained the cornerstone of pharmacovigilance and is important in maintaining patient safety. this study was conducted to assess the nurses’ knowledge and attitude towards pharmacovigilance, reasons for not reporting adrs, and their pharmacovigil...

Spontaneous reporting is a crucial component of post-marketing drug safety surveillance despite its significant limitations. The size and complexity of some spontaneous reporting system databases represent a challenge for drug safety professionals who traditionally have relied heavily on the scientific and clinical acumen of the prepared mind. Computer algorithms that calculate statistical meas...
