ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To introduce the research and application of sentinel hospital pharmacovigilance system,and provide technical reference for hospital pharmacovigilance working in China. METHODS:A sentinel hospital pharmacovigilance system based on hospital information system was established,the architecture and functionality were introduced and its effects were ana-lyzed. RESULTS:The sentinel hospital pharmacovigilance system formed by hospital business information management platform and data center. Its main functions included drug data arrangement,the auxiliary reporting of ADR,active monitoring,pharmaco-vigilance information inquiry,monitoring and warning and statistical analysis,which successfully achieved the rapid reporting and active monitoring of hospital ADR. The system had applied in 20 sentinel hospitals,and the ADR reporting quantity was obviously increased after applying the system. Compared with 2015,ADR reporting in a sample sentinel hospital was increased 120.6％ since it used the system in early 2016. Besides,the system had improved the ADR reporting process,operation and input standard for the ADR reporter,shortened the reporting time and improved the efficiency of the reporting staff. CONCLUSIONS:The establish-ment and application of sentinel hospital pharmacovigilance system has greatly improved the hospital ADR monitoring management level,and it is of great significance to further strengthen the pharmaovigilance in China.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the incidence and related risk factors of post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD) after acci-dents in the Pearl River Delta .Methods Inpatients after accidents from April 2009 to February 2010 in seven hospitals of the Pearl River Delta cities ,such as Guangzhou ,Shenzhen and Zhuhai ,were surveyed with PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version (PCL-C) and self-made questionnaire .Results In a total of 554 post traumatic patients ,a prevalence of 28 .5% of PTSD symptoms were found in this region with 7 .8% (marks≥50) of severe degree and 20 .8% (marks :38-49) of mild to moderate degree .In the severe PTSD symptoms group ,the top three items were getting nervous and upset once faced similar situation ,difficulty sleeping or easy to be a-wake ,and the trauma experience caused recurring disturbing memory ,ideas or image .Multivariate analysis showed that female ,una-ble self-care ,incapable of working ,lack help from friends ,multiple injury ,and injury time longer were all associated with the PTSD symptom incidence .Conclusion The prevalence of PTSD symptoms is relatively high in injured patients after accidents in the Pearl River Delta .Early identification and intervention of PTSD symptoms in post-traumatic patients are important for the prevention of PTSD .
