  1. 1. Drug interaction surveillance using individual case safety reports

    Författare :Johanna Strandell; Staffan Hägg; Niklas Norén; Andrew Bate; Robin E. Ferner; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Adverse drug reactions; adverse drug interaction surveillance; drug interactions; individual case safety reports; postmarketing pharmacovigilance; signal detection; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Drug interactions resulting in adverse drug reactions (ADRs) represent a major health problem both for individuals and society in general. Post-marketing pharmacovigilance reporting databases with compiled individual case safety reports (ICSRs) have been shown to be particularly useful in the detection of novel drug - ADR combinations, though these reports have not been fully used to detect adverse drug interactions.

    Sammanfattning : Background: In paediatrics, the limited documentation to guide medication, the lack of suitable dosage forms, and the continuous development in childhood present a scenario where safety of medication is a particular challenge.Aim: To explore reported adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and the challenges in prescribing and administering medicines in paediatrics, in order to identify and suggest areas needing international surveillance within medication safety and improvement in the clinical setting.

    Sammanfattning : Tuberculosis (TB) is an ancient infectious disease that remains one of the greatest killers on the planet. Its eradication is impeded by the development of resistance to first-line treatment. Each year half a million patients are infected with drug-resistant (DR) TB. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Studies of drug safety in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis

    Sammanfattning : Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease affecting mainly smaller joints. Patients are at risk for complications as joint destruction, but starting treatment soon after onset of disease, has reduced the risk for complications. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Improving the Quality and Safety of Drug Use in Hospitalized Elderly : Assessing the Effects of Clinical Pharmacist Interventions and Identifying Patients at Risk of Drug-related Morbidity and Mortality

    Författare :Anna Alassaad; Håkan Melhus; Margareta Hammarlund-Udenaes; Johan Sundström; Claes Mörlin; Lene Juel Kjeldsen; Uppsala universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : Older people admitted to hospital are at high risk of rehospitalization and medication errors. We have demonstrated, in a randomized controlled trial, that a clinical pharmacist intervention reduces the incidence of revisits to hospital for patients aged 80 years or older admitted to an acute internal medicine ward.
