A Psychological Study on Adverse Drug Reaction and Pharmacoeconomics Burden of Patient in Surgery Department of Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital

Abstract

Background: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are frequently underreported. Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are a severe health hazard that led to avoidable patient burden and hospital admissions; hence pharmacovigilance education is critical. Only a few educational initiatives have long-term benefits on healthcare personnel' understanding of pharmacovigilance and adverse event reporting. Our healthcare practitioners of the future should develop a sufficient set of pharmacovigilance skills in order to rationally prescribe, distribute, and monitor medications.

Aim: The aim of the present study is to evaluate, analyse and reporting of possible drug reaction in surgery department and its Pharmacoeconomics burden at tertiary care teaching hospital.

Methodology: This is prospective, observational study, which will be carried out in Teerthanker Mahaveer Hospital, Bagarpur, Delhi Road, Moradabad. This study is carried out by using pharmacoeconomic questionnaire, suspected adverse drug reaction reporting form issued by IPC and pharmacovigilance programme of India (PvPi) and adverse drug reaction questionnaire. In this study patients above 18yrs of surgical department tertiary care teaching hospital of western Uttar Pradesh are being taken. The period of study will be from December 2021 to May 2022.

Result: Out of 94 patients, 63 were male and 31 were female. The results were found to be significant.

Discussion: Our present study shows that, 44% of the study group had more ADRs as compared to other age groups. This study stated that female ward has less frequency of adverse drug reactions 32.97% as compared to males. The severity, treatment, action taken after an adverse drug reaction, and Naranjo casualty evaluation were used to determine the outcomes of adverse drug reactions by organ system. Post-operative patients had a larger cost distribution than pre-operative patients, according to our findings.

Conclusion: In our research group, the prevalence of ADRs is similar to that described in the literature. In comparison, the total rate of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in our research appears to be lower. It is exceedingly difficult to establish, quantify, and compute the total cost of ADRs. Post-operative patients had a larger cost distribution than pre-operative patients, according to our findings.
