    This study developed a drug surveillance system to detect adverse drug reactions in hospitalized patients. The system identified a 16.5% incidence of reactions, particularly in female patients with higher drug intake.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacovigilance
    • Hospital Pharmacy
    • Clinical Drug Monitoring

    Background:

    • Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) pose a significant risk to hospitalized patients.
    • Effective drug surveillance systems are crucial for identifying and mitigating ADRs.
    • Previous monitoring systems may not adequately capture ADRs in general hospital wards.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and implement an Extensive Drug Surveillance (EDS) program.
    • To monitor for adverse drug reactions in a general medical ward setting.
    • To evaluate the incidence and characteristics of ADRs in hospitalized patients.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective drug surveillance program was conducted over one month (September 1974).
    • Monitoring focused on a general medical ward at the Royal Adelaide Hospital.

  • Data collected included patient demographics, drug administration, and observed adverse reactions.

    • Main Results:

    • A total of 85 patients were monitored (45 males, 40 females).
    • 14 patients experienced adverse reactions, resulting in an overall incidence of 16.5%.
    • Higher drug intake, longer hospital stays, and female gender were associated with increased ADR incidence.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed EDS system effectively identified ADRs in a hospital setting.
    • Patient factors such as drug regimen complexity and gender influence ADR risk.
    • Further research is warranted to refine drug monitoring strategies and patient safety protocols.
