Preventability of Adverse Drug Reactions Related to Antibiotics: An Assessment Based on Spontaneous Reporting System.
Article in Therapeutic innovation & regulatory science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundAntibiotics are commonly used in both outpatient and inpatient settings and are responsible for the majority of adverse drug reaction (ADR) reports. We aimed to characterize spontaneously reported ADRs associated with antibiotics and assessing the preventability of these ADRs in a Vietnamese setting. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted a retrospective descriptive study based on ADRs related to antibiotics spontaneously reported by healthcare workers to the National Pharmacovigilance Database of Vietnam (NPDV) between June 2018 and May 2019. The characteristics of included reports were descriptively analyzed. The preventability of reported ADRs was assessed using a standardized preventability scale. We identified the leading causes and described the characteristics associated with preventable ADRs (pADRs).
resultsWe included 6385 antibiotic-related reports from a total of 12,056 reports submitted to the NPDV during the study period. Beta-lactam antibiotics, mostly broad-spectrum with parenteral route, were suspected in the majority cases. The most commonly reported pADRs were allergic reactions, mostly classified under skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders. Of all included cases, 537 cases (8.4%) were deemed as associated with pADRs. Major causes of pADRs include potentially inappropriate prescribing (352/537, 65.5%) and re-administration of antibiotics causing prior allergy/allergies (99/537, 18.4%). The majority of pADRs involved the use of beta-lactam antibiotics with inappropriate indications.
conclusionADRs related to antibiotic use represent more than half of ADRs spontaneously reported in Vietnam. Approximately one in every ten reported cases is associated with pADRs. The majority pADRs can be prevented through simple improvement in antibiotic prescribing practices.
