ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of oxycodone and acetaminophen in outpatient and emergency department. METHODS:By retrospective study,the application of oxycodone and acetaminophen in outpatient and emergency de-partment of our hospital during 2013-2015 was analyzed statistically. RESULTS:During 2013-2015,there were 22654 outpatient and emergency prescriptions of oxycodone and acetaminophen in our hospital. The prescription number,amount and consumption sum of oxycodone and acetaminophen were increasing year by year. Top 3 clinical departments of oxycodone and acetaminophen in the list of prescription number were orthopedics department(78.34%),emergency department(15.52%)and oncology department (2.09%). The age of patients using oxycodone and acetaminophen mainly aged 19-64 years old(78.62%);the ratio of male to fe-male was 1:1.08. The amount of oxycodone and acetaminophen was 5 mg,mainly 4 times a day(86.91%). In all kinds of diagno-sis,knee osseous arthritis (47.26%),pain in waist and lower extremities (6.18%) and abdominal pain in dispute (5.92%) were top three. CONCLUSIONS:A large amount of oxycodone and acetaminophen were used in outpatient and emergency department of our hospital during 2013-2015;there is unreasonable drug use so that we need to strengthen management and standardize drug use.
