In a survey of adverse drug reactions in wards of two Belfast hospitals for 52 weeks in 1965-6, 2.9% of 1,268 patients seen were admitted to hospital because of adverse reactions to drugs taken for therapeutic reasons and 2.1% were admitted because of self-poisoning. Patients admitted because of adverse drug reactions were older than those admitted because of self-poisoning and stayed in hospital longer. Among the drugs which caused the adverse reactions were digitalis preparations, antibiotics, corticosteroids, anticoagulants, analgesics, and tranquillizers. Hypersensitivity and side-effect types of reactions were the most common. Barbiturates were the most frequently used drugs in suicidal attempts.
在1965年至1966年对贝尔法斯特两家医院病房进行的为期52周的药物不良反应调查中,1268名就诊患者中有2.9%因治疗用药的不良反应而住院,2.1%因自我中毒而住院。因药物不良反应住院的患者比因自我中毒住院的患者年龄更大,住院时间也更长。引起不良反应的药物包括洋地黄制剂、抗生素、皮质类固醇、抗凝剂、镇痛药和镇静剂。过敏反应和副作用类型的反应最为常见。巴比妥类药物是自杀企图中最常用的药物。
