Background.Drug-related adverse events are an underappreciated consequence of antibiotic use, and the national magnitude scope these have not been studied. Our objective was to estimate compare numbers rates emergency department (ED) visits for drug-related associated with systemic antibiotics in United States by drug class, individual drug, event type.

Dietary supplements, such as herbal or complementary nutritional products and micronutrients (vitamins minerals), are commonly used in the United States, yet national data on adverse effects limited.
Nursing home and long-term care facility residents live in congregate settings are often elderly frail, putting them at high risk for infection with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, severe COVID-19-associated outcomes; therefore, this population was prioritized early vaccination United States (1). Following rapid distribution administration of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech Moderna) under an Emergency Use Authorization by Food Drug Administration (2), observational...

Abstract Background Antibiotics are among the most commonly prescribed medications for children; however, at least one-third of pediatric antibiotic prescriptions unnecessary. National data on short-term antibiotic-related harms could inform efforts to reduce overprescribing and supplement interventions that focus long-term benefits reducing resistance. Methods Frequencies rates emergency department (ED) visits adverse drug events (ADEs) in children were estimated using event from Electronic...

After reports of increasing emergency department (ED) visits for unsupervised pediatric medication exposures in the 2000s, renewed efforts to improve safety packaging and education were initiated. National data on current trends can help further target interventions.We used nationally representative from Electronic Injury Surveillance System-Cooperative Adverse Drug Event project (2004-2013) assess ED children aged <6 years. For 2010 through 2013, dosage form prescription status implicated...
