Widespread coordination and sharing of information regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are important for drug safety assessment. However, the actual status of coordination and sharing of information on ADRs in community pharmacies remains unclear. Therefore, a survey was conducted at community pharmacies to analyze the status. In this cross-sectional study conducted from 31 March 2021 to 9 April 2021, a request letter with the uniform resource locator of the questionnaire form was sent to 302 community pharmacies affiliated with Tsuruha Holdings Inc., and the responses were obtained online. The response rate for the questionnaires was 80.8% ( = 244). In total, 20.9% of the community pharmacies provided information on patients' ADRs to hospitals or clinics prescribing drugs. None of the community pharmacies provided patient ADR information to other community pharmacies. Of the community pharmacies, 98.8% felt that insufficient information was available to monitor ADRs from hospitals or clinics prescribing drugs. For example, the name of the disease (67.6%), considered to be the most common information, was insufficiently provided. Overall, the existing system for providing information on ADRs between community pharmacies and other medical institutions is insufficient and needs to be developed further.
广泛协调和共享药品不良反应(ADR)信息对于药物安全性评估至关重要。然而,社区药房中ADR信息的协调与共享实际状况仍不明确。因此,在社区药房开展了一项调查以分析其现状。在这项于2021年3月31日至2021年4月9日进行的横断面研究中,一封附有问卷表单统一资源定位器的请求信被发送至鹤羽控股公司下属的302家社区药房,并通过在线方式获取回复。问卷的回复率为80.8%(n = 244)。总体而言,20.9%的社区药房会向开药的医院或诊所提供患者ADR信息。没有社区药房向其他社区药房提供患者ADR信息。在社区药房中,98.8%认为从开药的医院或诊所监测ADR的可用信息不足。例如,被认为是最常见信息的疾病名称提供不足(67.6%)。总体而言,社区药房与其他医疗机构之间现有的ADR信息提供系统不足,需要进一步完善。
