To assess and evaluate the frequency, severity and classification of drug-related problems (DRP) resulting in hospitalization in an internal medicine department of a large tertiary care hospital and to identify any patient, prescriber, drug, and system factors associated with these events.
A prospective and descriptive study carried out in Department of Medicine, Government Medical College, Jagdalpur. The DRP and relevant data were recorded on the personal record of every individual patient, filled during the course of treatment.
A total of 3560 patient's records were analyzed. Among them118 admissions were due to DRP. The most common DRP noted was noncompliance in part of patient's i.e 55 (46.6%). Statistically significant correlations were found in the number of prescribed drugs and over the counter drugs (OTC) used by patients.
The DRP that attributed to hospital admission are mostly avoidable through proper patient education and strengthening the need of pharmacovigilance with little more vigilance in patient care.

在贾格德尔布尔政府医学院内科进行的一项前瞻性描述性研究。在治疗过程中,将DRP及相关数据记录在每位患者的个人记录中。
共分析了3560份患者记录。其中118例住院是由于DRP。最常见的DRP是患者部分不依从,即55例(46.6%)。在患者使用的处方药和非处方药(OTC)数量上发现了具有统计学意义的相关性。
