Purpose: Previous research and pharmacovigilance monitoring activities have suggested a potential association between indapamide use and rhabdomyolysis. This study aims to investigate the potential causal relationship between the use of indapamide and rhabdomyolysis.
Methods: A case-control study conducted using electronic health records data, between July 1, 2016 and December 31, 2022.
Background: Levetiracetam is an anti-seizure medication (ASM) with an established safety profile. However, a potential safety signal of hypokalemia following levetiracetam use was published in the World Health Organization newsletter.
Objective: To investigate the possible causal association between the use of levetiracetam and the development of hypokalemia.
Background: This retrospective analysis aimed to comprehensively review the design and regulatory aspects of bioequivalence trials submitted to the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) since 2017.
Methods: This was a retrospective, comprehensive analysis study. The Data extracted from the SFDA bioequivalence assessment reports were analyzed for reviewing the overall design and regulatory aspects of the successful bioequivalence trials, exploring the impact of the coefficient of variation of within-subject variability (CVw) on some design aspects, and providing an in-depth assessment of bioequivalence trial submissions that were deemed insufficient in demonstrating bioequivalence.
Objectives: This study was conducted to assess the validity of recording (and the original diagnostic practice) of type 2 diabetes mellitus at a hospital whose records were integrated to a centralised database (the standardised common data model (CDM) of the Saudi National Pharmacoepidemiologic Database (NPED)).
Design: A retrospective single-centre validation study.
Settings: Data of the study participants were extracted from the CDM of the NPED (only records of one tertiary care hospital were integrated at the time of the study) between 1 January 2013 and 1 July 2018.
Background: Prehypertension is a precursor to hypertension status. Psychological distress has been identified earlier among hypertensives; however, there is little evidence for the presumptive relationship between prehypertension and psychological distress.
Objective: The study aimed to assess the psychological wellbeing of the Al-Kharj, Saudi Arabia population, using the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) and correlating it with prehypertensive patients in the same population.
