RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the rational use of TCM injections. METHODS:487 medical records using TCM injection in our hospital from Jul. to Dec. 2014 were selected as control group,another 500 from Jan. to Jun. 2015 were inter-vention group. Utilization,rationality and adverse reactions of TCM injection between 2 groups were compared. RESULTS:Accord-ing to the intervention by clinical pharmacists,the sales amount and utilization rate of top 10 TCM injection in our hospital were lower significantly. The irrational utilization rate of 5 types (totally 26 varieties) in intervention group decreased (21.60% vs. 43.33%),incidences of adverse reactions reduced(3.00% vs. 7.39%),compared with control group,the differences were statisti-cally significant (P<0.05). Treatment cost per capita [(217.17 ± 22.64) yuan vs. (480.77 ± 21.35) yuan] and hospitalization time [(6.50 ± 1.99)d vs. (10.02 ± 3.25)d] in intervention group were significantly lower or shorter than control group,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Implementing pharmaceutical interventions can strengthen the sense of clinicians’rational use of TCM injection,raise the level of rational use of drugs and reduce adverse reactions and medical errors.
