Background: High-quality adverse drug reaction (ADR) reports are essential for conducting drug safety monitoring in pharmacovigilance. The study aim was to assess the current quality of ADR reports in western China, and to identify problems with ADR report quality.
Research design and methods: A sample of 1139 reports received by the Shaanxi ADR Monitoring Center from January 2015 to December 2017 was selected. ADR report quality was evaluated using an ADR report quality evaluation system.
Results: None of the reports were rated as excellent and 1.40% (n = 16) as good. Report quality was better for new and serious reports than for general reports. Medical institutions generated higher quality reports than pharmaceutical manufacturers. Nurses generated higher quality reports than doctors, pharmacists, and other professionals. Reporters of different occupations showed significant differences in the quality of the indicators Reporting time limit, Intervention ADR time, ADR termination time, ADR intervention measures, Original disease, and Cause of medication (P = 0.000).
Conclusions: The ADR data quality was poor in western China, and of lower quality than reported data from previous research in other regions. Improvements in the quality and availability of ADR reports are urgently needed. 相似文献
This study utilizes a psychophysical approach to examine the effects on
carrying capacity for bi-manual carrying tasks involving different handle positions and
carrying ranges. A total of 16 female subjects participated in the experiment in groups of
two people, and each group of subjects performed the tasks in a random order with 12
different combinations of carrying task. The independent variables are handle position
(upper, middle, lower) and carrying range (F–F: floor height carried to floor height, F–W:
floor height carried to waist height, W–W: waist height carried to waist height, W–F:
waist height carried to floor height), the dependent variable is the maximum acceptable
carried weight (MAWC), heart rate (HR), and the rating of perceived exertion (RPE). The
results show that the handle position has a significant effect on MAWC and overall RPE but
no significant effect on HR. Carrying range has a significant effect on the MAWC and HR,
but no significant effect on overall HR. The handle position and carrying range have a
significant interaction on the MAWC and HR. The RPE for different body parts shows
significant differences, and the hands feel the most tired. Overall, this study confirms
that the lower handle position with the W–W carrying range is the best combination for a
two-person carrying task. 相似文献
BackgroundArtificial insemination with the husband’s semen (AIH) is an economical and noninvasive method of infertility treatment. However, AIH’s pregnancy rate is much lower than in vitro fertilization (IVF) as its multiple and complex uncertainty factors. Semen quality has been one of the main factors which affect the pregnancy outcome of AIH.MethodsThe relevant parameters of 1,142 AIH cycles were retrospectively studied, including the general parameters and the semen quality parameters among clinical pregnancy, biochemical pregnancy, non-pregnancy group, age, infertility duration, infertility type, body mass index (BMI), cycle count, morphology in previously semen examination, and semen quality parameters on the day of AIH.ResultsThe statistically significant difference was only found on processed total non-forward and non-motile sperm count (N-TFMSC). The mean processed N-TFMSC in the biochemical pregnancy group was 6.37±4.27 million, significantly higher than the other two groups (vs. 4.40±3.15 million or vs. 4.48±3.60 million, P<0.05). The study was then divided into two groups according to processed N-TFMSC, Group 1 ≤5.0 million, and Group 2 >5.0 million. A statistical increase in biochemical pregnancy rate was observed when the processed N-TFMSC was >5.0 million (2.72% vs. 0.90%).ConclusionsProcessed N-TFMSC may be one of the independent factors on AIH’s outcome; it should be given equal attention the same as processed total forward motile sperm count (TFMSC). 相似文献
