Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used for treating pain and inflammation. Spontaneous adverse drug reaction (ADR) reports represent a rich data source for the detection of unknown and rare ADRs. This cross-sectional study aimed to analyze the characteristics of ADRs due to NSAIDs in Thailand. All ADR reports of NSAIDs for systemic use from 2015 to 2019 were extracted from the national database in Thailand. Patient characteristics, drug use information, adverse event information, and source of senders in 32,857 reports were analyzed. The annual number of ADR reports due to NSAIDs decreased from 7,008 in 2015 to 5,922 in 2019. The most frequently reported drug was ibuprofen (n=12,645, 38.5%) followed by diclofenac (n=7,795, 23.7%), most patients were 40-59 years old, and the major adverse reaction was angioedema (n=7,513, 22.9%). Serious reactions were recorded in 20.7% (n=6,801) of the total ADRs. Most patients (n=20,593, 62.7%) recovered without sequelae, but there were 5,420 patients (16.5%) who could not recover and 3,109 patients (9.5%) who were recovering. Eight patients (0.02%) died of Stevens-Johnson syndrome (n=3), toxic epidermal necrolysis (n=4), and anaphylactic shock (n=1), which were possibly related to ADRs. The number of ADR reports due to NSAIDs decreased from 2015 to 2019 in Thailand. Serious ADRs and death cases accounted for 20.7% and 0.02%, respectively. Most fatal cases exhibited severe drug-induced skin reactions.

Objective: This study aims to analyze adverse drug events (ADE) related to romosozumab from the second quarter of 2019 to the third quarter of 2023 from FAERS database.

Methods: The ADE data related to romosozumab from 2019 Q2 to 2023 Q3 were collected. After data normalization, four signal strength quantification algorithms were used: ROR (Reporting Odds Ratios), PRR (Proportional Reporting Ratios), BCPNN (Bayesian Confidence Propagation Neural Network), and EBGM (Empirical Bayesian Geometric Mean).

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on identifying situations that lead to metformin-associated lactic acidosis (MALA) in ICU patients and evaluating its preventability.
  • A total of 198 MALA cases were assessed, with 19.2% resulting in death; the majority of patients had acute events like dehydration or severe infections that contributed to the condition.
  • The findings indicated that MALA is often preventable, highlighting the need for better physician and patient education regarding metformin use during high-risk medical situations.

Background And Objectives: Accumulating pediatric efficacy and safety data on drug use is inherently challenging yet essential. This study aimed to analyze the frequency and compute the odds of pediatric drug-associated liver injury across age groups (early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence) and therapeutic categories using adverse drug reactions (ADRs) reporting data spanning nearly two decades.

Methods: We analyzed the reports of suspected ADRs occurring in children and adolescents in the Taiwan National Adverse Drug Reaction Reporting System during the period from May 1998 until July 2017.
