Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are a major cause of hospital admissions, but recent data on the incidence and clinical characteristics ADRs which occur following admission, lacking. Patients admitted to twelve wards over six-month period in 2005 were assessed for throughout their admission. Suspected recorded analysed causality, severity avoidability whether they increased length stay. Multivariable analysis was undertaken identify risk factors ADRs. The 5% significance level used when...
Antifungal therapy saves lives, if given early in life-threatening invasive infection, and also greatly reduces morbidity hundreds of millions patients worldwide.We have partially mapped by country systemic generic antifungal drug registration, availability daily cost for intravenous deoxycholate amphotericin B (50 mg), flucytosine (5 g), oral fluconazole (750-800 mg) itraconazole (400 mg).Multiple publically available resources local contacts provided data 159 countries with populations >1...
WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS SUBJECT ADRs in hospital patients are a significant burden, though how often cause re‐admission to has not been well documented the literature. STUDY ADDS • One fifth of re‐admitted within 1 year discharge from their index admission were due an adverse drug reaction. Admission medical ward, elderly age and prescription anti‐platelet agents or diuretics identified as risk factors for ADRs. Since up 50% these reactions possibly avoidable, better methods...
Background: About 6·5% of admissions to hospital are related an adverse drug reaction (ADR). There no recent large studies, which explore the burden ADRs on in-patients. The aim this pilot study was assess feasibility of, and establish methodology for, conducting a prospective fully impact in-patients National Health Service (NHS). Methods: Patients admitted five wards in university over 2-week period were assessed for through daily ward visit by pharmacist. Suspected analysed causality,...
The current study investigates the effect of sleep deprivation on speed and accuracy eye movements as measured by King-Devick (K-D) test, a <1-minute test that involves rapid number naming.In this cohort study, neurology residents staff from University Pennsylvania Health System underwent baseline followed postcall K-D testing (n = 25); those not taking call 10) also completed follow-up testing. Differences in times errors between scores were compared 2 groups.Residents had less improvement...

Methods: Patients admitted Royal Liverpool Hospital surgery fractured NOF over an 8-week period 2007 were included study. All prescribing recorded,...

The wide-scale roll-out of artemisinin combination therapies (ACTs) for the treatment malaria should be accompanied by continued surveillance their safety. Post-marketing pharmacovigilance (PV) relies on adverse event (AE) reporting clinicians, but as a large proportion treatments are provided non-clinicians in low-resource settings, effectiveness such PV systems is limited. To facilitate reporting, AE forms easily completed; however, most challenging lower-level health workers and to...

Background Over the past 20 years prescription of opioid medicines has markedly increased in UK, despite a lack supporting evidence for use commonly occurring, painful conditions. Prescribing is often monitored by counting numbers prescriptions dispensed, but this may not provide an accurate picture clinical practice. Aim To estimated oral morphine equivalent (OMEQ e ) dose to describe trends prescribing non-cancer pain, and explore if burden differed deprivation status. Design & setting...
To examine differences in healthcare utilisation and costs associated with opioid prescriptions for non-cancer pain issued primary care.A longitudinal, case-control study retrospectively examined Welsh data the period 1 January 2005-31 December 2015. Data were extracted from Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) databank. Subjects, aged 18 years over, included if their care record contained at least one of six overarching diagnoses during period. Subjects excluded also a cancer...
