Nowadays, the number of people with drug hypersensitivity has been increasing and it has become a major problem for the healthcare system. Unfortunately, not everyone is aware of which medications they can safely use.
To assess the suitability of a drug allergy passport in patients with drug hypersensitivity in order to increase knowledge about medicines that can be safely used.
The study was conducted in 54 hospitalized patients with confirmed hypersensitivity to drugs by issuing a drug passport at discharge. The study was carried out with the questionnaire method. The questionnaire was conducted by phone 3, 6 and 12 months after the patients received the drug passport.
Fifty-eight people were contacted by phone. The survey was conducted in 54 people (42 women (77%), mean age: 48, range: 19-71), which gives a response rate of 98%. The application of the drug allergy passport by patients increased with time and the number of patients who did not use their passport decreased. With time, patients showed the drug allergy passport to a larger number of doctors, most often to general practitioners and dentists. In the following months, the number of doctors who followed passport recommendations and patients who adhered to the passport recommendations increased.
The analysis of drug allergy passport shows that patients are better informed about medicines they can use and have a greater sense of security. By showing the passport to specialists, they choose the safest and adequate treatment.
如今，药物过敏的人数一直在增加，这已成为医疗系统的一个主要问题。不幸的是，并非每个人都知道自己可以安全使用哪些药物。
评估药物过敏护照对药物过敏患者的适用性，以增加对可安全使用药物的了解。
该研究对54名确诊对药物过敏的住院患者进行，在出院时发放药物护照。研究采用问卷调查法。在患者收到药物护照后的3个月、6个月和12个月通过电话进行问卷调查。
通过电话联系了58人。对54人（42名女性（77%），平均年龄：48岁，范围：19 - 71岁）进行了调查，回复率为98%。患者对药物过敏护照的使用随时间增加，未使用护照的患者数量减少。随着时间推移，患者向更多医生出示药物过敏护照，最常出示给全科医生和牙医。在接下来的几个月里，遵循护照建议的医生数量和遵守护照建议的患者数量都有所增加。
对药物过敏护照的分析表明，患者对自己可以使用的药物有了更充分的了解，安全感更强。通过向专科医生出示护照，他们选择了最安全且合适的治疗方法。
