The experiences of students with intellectual and developmental disabilities, parents, and teachers regarding health self-advocacy program with school-home connection: a qualitative study.

Background: Despite the importance of health as a significant indicator of quality of life, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) often face low expectations, stigma, and insufficient opportunities in health care and education. In response, we developed a health self-advocacy program with a school-home connection for students with IDD to promote self-directed health care and verified its effectiveness by implementing the program for students with IDD.

Objective: This study aimed to explore participants' program experiences and support needs to reduce the stigma surrounding individuals with IDD and provide implications for enhancing health self-advocacy skills.

Comparison of hyperkalemic risk in hospitalized patients treated with different angiotensin receptor blockers: a retrospective cohort study using a Korean clinical research database.

Background And Aim: Clinical use of angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonists (angiotensin receptor blockers [ARBs]) is associated with hyperkalemia as an adverse drug reaction. Although it has significant clinical implications, the incidence and relative risks of hyperkalemia with various ARBs have not yet been fully evaluated. The purpose of this study was to determine the risk of hyperkalemic events in hospitalized patients treated with different ARBs and to compare the risk among them.

Spontaneously reported hepatic adverse drug events in Korea: multicenter study.

Hepatic adverse drug reactions (ADRs) to certain drugs may differ within each country, reflecting different patterns of prescription, socioeconomic status, and culture. The purpose of this study was to assess the suspected cause of hepatic ADRs using the spontaneously reported pharmacovigilance data from Korea. A total of 9,360 spontaneously reported adverse drug events (ADEs) from nine Pharmacovigilance Centers were analyzed.

Development of a list of potentially inappropriate drugs for the korean elderly using the delphi method.

Objectives: This study aimed to develop a list of potentially inappropriate drugs for the elderly in Korea using the Delphi technique.

Methods: A Delphi evaluation with a two-round survey was used to reach a consensus on the criteria for inappropriate medications for the elderly in an outpatient setting. The expert panel consisted of 7 family medicine specialists, 3 psychiatrists, 1 neurologist and 3 clinical pharmacists.

A novel algorithm for detection of adverse drug reaction signals using a hospital electronic medical record database.

Purpose: Quantitative analytic methods are being increasingly used in postmarketing surveillance. However, currently existing methods are limited to spontaneous reporting data and are inapplicable to hospital electronic medical record (EMR) data. The principal objectives of this study were to propose a novel algorithm for detecting the signals of adverse drug reactions using EMR data focused on laboratory abnormalities after treatment with medication, and to evaluate the potential use of this method as a signal detection tool.

Conceptualization and measurement of family outcomes associated with families of individuals with intellectual disabilities.

The purpose of this review is to (a) document the current status of conceptualizing and measuring family outcomes related to having a member with an intellectual disability and (b) determine the extent to which family research focuses on internal family characteristics as contrasted to external family support. The reviewers collected 28 articles using the terms well-being, adaptation, family functioning, or family quality of life in the title. Results of our analyses are presented as a comparison between well-being, adaptation, and family functioning articles in one group and family quality of life articles in a second group.
