Introduction: Treatment for hypertension, thrombosis and type 2 diabetes mellitus is long term and usually requires a combination of drugs which increases the risk of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). This study aimed to establish the prevalence at admission, incidence during hospitalization and characteristics of ADRs linked to antihypertensive, antithrombotic and antidiabetic drugs among adult inpatients in Uganda.
Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of data from a previously assembled prospective cohort study in Uganda's Mulago National Referral Hospital.
Background: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) contribute to the burden of disease globally and of particular concern are ADR-related hospital admissions.
Objectives: This study sought to determine the burden, characteristics, contributing factors and patient outcomes of ADRs that were the primary diagnosis linked to hospital admission among inpatients in Uganda.
Design: We conducted a cross-sectional secondary analysis of data from a prospective cohort study of adult inpatients aged 18 years and older at Uganda's Mulago National Referral Hospital from November 2013 to April 2014.
Background: Adverse drug events (ADEs) are regarded as the most essential therapeutic issue during management of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) due to the long duration of therapy and concurrent use of many second-line medications. This study aimed to determine the incidence and factors associated with ADEs among patients receiving DR-TB treatment at Mulago hospital in Uganda.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted among 417 DR-TB patient records at Mulago National Referral Hospital from January 2013 to December 2020.
