Spontaneous Adverse Event Reporting

INTRODUCTION Pharmacovigilance (PV or PhV) , also known as Drug Safety, is defined as the science and activities relating to the detection, collection, assessment, monitoring, understanding and prevention of adverse effects (AEs) or any other drug-related problem. World health organization (WHO) established its programme for International Drug Monitoring in response to the thalidomide disaster detected in 1961. The aims of PV are to enhance patient care and patient safety in relation to the use

Pharmacovigilance Reporting in the US: A Comparison of Adverse Event Reporting in Pre- and Post-Marketing Clinical Studies and Post-Marketing Spontaneous Reports When a drug is finally brought to the market, it usually has gone through three clinical trial phases in humans, including Phase 1, 2 and 3 clinical studies. Some drugs may be required to conduct a Phase 4 or post-marketing study after its approval in order to gather additional information about a product’s safety, efficacy or optimal use. Adverse events

Introduction Pharmacovigilance is “the science and activities relating to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other medicine related problem.” Regulated in the US by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with the expectation of volunteer reporting by health care professionals (HCP) and mandatory reporting by drug developers/manufacturers, this field of study is essential in the improvement of patient outcomes and safety. Its peripheral importance lies

study found a high cumulative incidence of adverse reactions due to HAART (44.5%), similar to those observed by other investigators (36). Most of the adverse reactions occurred during the first six month of treatment, explaining the observed pattern of adverse reactions compatible with the incidence of acute, common and nonspecific events. In agreement with previous studies, gastrointestinal complaints and epidermal necrolysis and other dermatological adverse effects were the reactions most frequently

To or to not vaccinate your children? Seems to be the question a lot of parents are debating. With such a big decision, it is encouraged to become educated with the principles of vaccinations, the safety of vaccinations with both sides of the debate, and the time frame that children receive vaccinations from birth to 18 years of age. Immunity. What is it? Why is it so important? And what does it do for us? To understand why vaccinations are so important, it is important to understand what immunity

between multiple drug substances, taken in combination or simultaneously, may yield excessive risk of adverse effect. However, this increase risk is not uniform for all combinations. Some combinations may show a constant risk pattern. Collections of individual reporting of an adverse event related to adverse drug reactions have proven to be very useful. A mixture model approach is applied to AERS (adverse effect record system) data to differentiate drug combinations following different patterns. A ranking

INCRETIN BASED DRUGS Meier & Nauck (2014) reported meta-analyses for the available data describing pancreatitis events in phase 3 trials for DPP-4 inhibitors and GLP-1R agonists. The odds ratio for acute pancreatitis with a GLP-1R agonist was 1.39, whereas for exposure to a DPP-4 inhibitor, it was 1.07, however the total number of patients studied and absolute event rates were small (2.1 events of pancreatitis per 1,000 patient years), greater numbers of subjects followed for longer periods of time would

MATERIALS AND METHODS This paper adheres to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) declaration(40) and registered in PROSPERO under number CRD42017078868. Study selection criteria The inclusion criteria were RCTs, including split-mouth

for clearly documented systems of operation, with contingency plans in place for when things go awry(3). In over 12% of aeromedical retrievals, a major adverse event occurs(7), most often due to poor or rushed patient assessment or stabilization(8) or inadequately trained staff members(9). Operating procedures aim to minimize these adverse events and should aim to familiarize staff, in a concise manner, with procedures of retrieval (3). These operating procedures should be devised through consensus
