“…23,24 β lactam antibiotics accounted for the highest number of the ADR reports 25,26 and the other important ones included anti-neoplastic drugs, analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The other studies have implicated same drugs.…”

“…These reports were collected on an average rate of 100 ADR, which is a better rate than many of the AMCs in India 13,14 and from other countries. 15 Improved reporting is possibly an outcome of the pharmacovigilance workshops, regular continuing medical education programmes and other such activities organized for the clinicians about the importance of pharmacovigilance activities. The demographic details of the present analysis showed male gender predominance over females w.r.t ADRs, which was similar to the findings of some other studies.…”

“…47 No entanto, apesar deste acréscimo de casos em particular, os resultados da UFC estão em linha com os registados noutros estudos. 32,48 Os medicamentos incluídos nestas classes terapêuticas são dos mais utilizados na prática clínica, o que pode explicar que a proporção de casos recebidos na UFC em que eles são reportados como suspeitos seja elevada. 49 Existem medicamentos cuja relação benefício/ risco é mais desfavorável comparativamente aos medicamentos suspeitos mais frequentemente notificados neste estudo, e que estão indicados para tratar patologias mais graves, tais como o cancro ou as doenças autoimunes.…”

Introduction:The aim of this study was to characterize the spontaneous reports of adverse events that were received by the Central Portugal Regional Pharmacovigilance Unit. Material and Methods: Spontaneous reports received between 01/2001 and 12/2013 were considered. The annual reporting ratios were estimated. The cases were characterized according to their seriousness, previous description, causality assessment, origin and professional group of the reporter, type of adverse event and pharmacotherapeutic groups of the suspected drugs most frequently reported. Results:The Pharmacovigilance Unit received 2408 reports that contained 5749 adverse events. In 2013, the reporting rate was estimated at 171 reports per million inhabitants. Fifty-five percent of the reports were assessed as serious. Ninety percent of the cases were assessed as being at least possibly related with the suspected drug. The suspected drugs most frequently reported were antiinfectives for systemic use (n = 809, 33%). The most frequently reported adverse events were "Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders" (n = 1139, 20%). There were 154 (6.4%) reports resulting in life-threatening situations and/or death, and 88 (3.6%) containing at least one adverse event assessed as serious, unknown and certain or probable. Discussion: The present results are in line with those found in other studies, namely the seriousness and type of the adverse events and the pharmacotherapeutic groups of the most frequently reported suspected drugs. Conclusion:In the last years, the Central Portugal Regional Pharmacovigilance Unit has registered a growth in the reporting rate in general, as well as an increase in the reporting of unknown and serious adverse drug reactions.

“…8 India is not new to ADR monitoring and many programmes have been launched since 1980s. 9 In spite of these measures, ADR reporting rate in India is as low as opposed to the global counterpart of 5%. [10][11][12] To address the lacunae in generating sufficient contribution to the global safety database, the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI) was launched in July 2010 under which all healthcare professionals and non-healthcare professionals including consumers can report suspected ADRs.…”

Background: Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR) are common in hospitalized patients. Nursing staff spends most time in patient care placing them at a key it position to recognize ADRs at the earliest. However, ADR reporting practices among nurses is very poor. We conducted this study to identify the factors affecting knowledge and attitude of nurses in a teaching hospital towards ADR reporting.Methods: A pre-tested and validated questionnaire was used. Correct responses in the knowledge section were awarded one mark and incorrect responses were given zero. Based on responses to attitude questions on a 5-point Likert scale, best attitude was scored five and least preferred attitude was given one point. Total knowledge and attitude scores were analyzed with regards to age, gender, educational qualification, average weekly working hours, total working experience in years and past experience with ADRs and ADR reporting. Knowledge scores were also correlated with attitude scores.Results: Knowledge level was poor with 48.29±23.85% average score while attitude of the respondents was reasonable with 65.69±10.05% average scores. The knowledge scores and attitude scores of BSc degree holders was higher than GNMs and ANMs (p<0.001). Those who had independently identified an ADR had higher knowledge scores (p<0.01) and more positive attitude (p<0.001). Attitude scores also had a significantly strong correlation with knowledge level of the respondents (r=0.72).Conclusions: Knowledge about ADR reporting is the most important factor determining the attitude towards ADR reporting. Increasing awareness would be pivotal in changing attitude and thus, improving reporting rates.
