A web-based survey was conducted by the Federation of Veterinarians of Europe with the support of the European Medicines Agency to gain a better insight into the adverse event reporting habits of veterinary practitioners and the level of information on reported adverse events that flows back to them. It was completed by 3545 veterinarians. The findings indicate marked under-reporting and that the system is poorly equipped to deal with lack of expected efficacy, with few cases reported and most found to be inconclusive. It was also found that feedback systems are greatly lacking. In order to increase spontaneous reporting, there is a need to make reporting easier (eg, by developing mobile apps, to incorporate the reporting into the practice management system software) and to make veterinarians better aware of the importance of reporting and the added value it may bring. Feedback systems should be improved. The best way to motivate reporters is to demonstrate that the reports they submit are indeed useful and contribute to the improved use of veterinary medicinal products. The major role veterinarians can play in improving animal health, welfare and public health by reporting adverse events needs to be further promoted.
在欧洲药品管理局的支持下，欧洲兽医联合会开展了一项基于网络的调查，以更深入地了解兽医从业者的不良事件报告习惯，以及反馈给他们的已报告不良事件的信息水平。3545名兽医完成了该调查。调查结果表明存在明显的报告不足情况，而且该系统在处理预期疗效缺乏方面能力不足，报告的案例很少，且大多没有定论。还发现反馈系统严重缺失。为了增加自发报告，有必要使报告更便捷（例如，通过开发移动应用程序，将报告纳入实践管理系统软件），并让兽医更好地认识到报告的重要性及其可能带来的附加价值。应改进反馈系统。激励报告者的最佳方式是证明他们提交的报告确实有用，并有助于改善兽药产品的使用。兽医通过报告不良事件在改善动物健康、福利和公共卫生方面所能发挥的主要作用需要进一步宣传。
