Preventability, predictability, severity and causality assessment of adverse drug reactions reported from a teaching hospital in chhattisgarh: A retrospective analysis.
Article in Journal of family medicine and primary care, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesAdverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) can lead to significant morbidity, rarely mortality and financial burden over the patient. ADRs that can be prevented can be considered as form of medication error sometimes. This study assessed the preventability, predictability and severity of ADRs using different assessment scales.
methodsADR Monitoring Centre under newly established teaching hospital in Chhattisgarh collected ADR reports from different healthcare professionals during the period from November 2016 to November 2018. Analysis of the reported ADRs was done for their causality assessment, demographic details of patients, most common drug class responsible for the ADR. Seriousness and preventability of ADRs were analysed by using WHO Causality Scale and Modified Schumock and Thornton Scale respectively. Severity of ADRs was assessed by Modified Hartwig and Siegel Scale.
resultsTotally 288 ADRs were reported in a 2-year period. 92.01% ADRs were non serious. 44.8% were mild, 53.81% moderate and 1.39% were severe ADRs. Causality assessment showed: 5.21% certain, 54.86% probable, 39.24% possible and 0.69% unlikely ADRs. Around 26% ADRs were definitely and probably preventable and 27.78% ADRs were predictable. The highest number (32.29%) of ADRs were reported to antimicrobials. 11.15% ADRs were reported to NSAIDs, in that 37.5% ADRs were due to NSAIDs combination.
conclusionMany ADRs in this study are non-serious, preventable and predictable. Management of such ADRs through therapeutic interventions would be beneficial in a better patient outcome. Multidisciplinary strategies involving physicians, pharmacists, other healthcare professionals and patient education and awareness about ADRs are needed for prevention of ADRs.
