ABSTRACT
Objective A comprehensive evaluation of oral anticoagulants(OACs)was conducted using the A Quick Guideline for Drug Evaluation and Selection in Chinese Medical Institutions(the Second Edition),to provide a reference for drug selection and clinical medication decisions in medical institutions.Methods Evaluation evidence was collected,and the drugs included in the evaluation were quantified on four dimensions of clinical properties(efficiency and safety),pharmaceutical properties,economy and others.Results All oral anticoagulants included in the evaluation had a score of 70 or higher in the comprehensive evaluation,while warfarin had the highest overall score.Clinical properties and pharmacologic properties were identified as the core attributes for drug selection evaluation.When considering only these factors,edoxaban received the highest score.Conclusion OACs are the preferred option for patients requiring long-term anticoagulation therapy.Various OACs offer distinct clinical advantages.Utilizing the Guidelines(Second Edition)for oral anticoagulant selection and evaluation can offer visual evidence for drug selection and promote the scientific,rational,and safe use of drugs in clinical management.
ABSTRACT
Objective To comprehensively assess the strengths and weaknesses of the 24 antihypertensive drugs procured as Volume-based Procurement(VBP)and innovator drugs by using quantitative evaluation system,and to provide a reference for doctors and patients in medication guidance and pharmaceutical decision-making.Methods The Quantitative Evaluation Criteria in the"Quick Guide to Drug Evaluation and Selection in Chinese Medical Institutions"were refined and optimized.The 24 selected VBP and innovator antihypertensive drugs were quantitatively evaluated according to the optimized quantitative evaluation system with the help of Chinese and English databases such as China Knowledge Network,Wanfang data,Wipunet,Embased,PubMed,and Metstr,as well as guideline search tools such as Meikang MCDEX,Drugwise Data,Up To Date,Medical Pulse and other databases etc.Results Among the 24 antihypertensive drugs,only four innovator drug evaluation scores were higher than those of drugs selected as VBP,namely felodipine tablets,Fosinopril sodium tablets,indapamide extended-release capsules,Irbesartan hydrochlorothiazide tablets.there were five main differences in the evaluation scores,namely economy,consistency evaluation,drug expiry date,global use,and the status of manufacturing enterprises.It was found that 83%of the VBP drugs had higher evaluation scores than those of the innovator drugs.The economic score of the innovator drug was low,and the difference in the scores was between 1-11 points.Conclusion By using the quantitative evaluation system to evaluate the antihypertensive drugs,the advantages and disadvantages of the innovator and VBP antihypertensive drugs can be assessed comprehensively,and the digital characteristics of antihypertensive drugs can be given,and the evaluation score can provide the reference basis for the guidance and decision-making of medication for doctors and patients.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To improve the automation and information level of Pharmacy intravenous admixture service (PIV-AS),and provide reference for the PIVAS development. METHODS:Related functions of DS8000 intelligent sorting system and its effect of PIVAS were introduced;work environment,workflow,work efficiency,labor intensity and sorting error before and af-ter the system application were compared. RESULTS:The application of intelligent sorting system achieved the automation of multi-ple links including reviewing,sorting,automatically counting,automatically generating hand-over lists of departments,statistical inquiring for related information in finished soft bag infusion sorting. Compared with manual sorting,it only covered less area, working environment was neat and orderly,workflow links was reduced (6 vs. 10),work time was shortened (average time for sorting per bag of infusion 13.53 s vs. 3.11 s),labor intensity was decreased,and work error rate was reduced (0.128‰ vs. 0.013‰);meanwhile,it improved the management for shading drugs,and achieved data analysis of PIVAS and management infor-mation. CONCLUSIONS:The application of DS8000 intelligent sorting system has improved the automation and information of PI-VAS,and promoted the construction and development of PIVAS.
