Abstract
AbstractTraditional Chinese medicine (TCM) injection is widely used in clinical settings, but its adverse drug reactions (ADRs) can be a serious public health concern. The objective is to study the safety of TCM injection and provide suggestions for clinical use. ADR reports collected by the Hubei Adverse Drug Reaction Monitoring Center from 2014 to 2019 were analysed. The safety of TCM injections was described by descriptive analysis and three signal mining methods, including the reporting odd ratio (ROR), proportional reporting ratio (PRR) and comprehensive standard method (MHRA). The findings indicate that the age groups of 0–10 and 41–80 years had the highest rates of reporting ADRs. A total of 96.41% of the ADRs occurred within one week, mostly on the same day that the injection was administered. Among the 60 TCM injections, Shenmai, Xiangdan, Salvia, Shengmai, Astragalus and Xuebijing injection had an above average ratio of severe ADRs (12.63%). A total of 99.24% of the cases improved after treatment. There were 9 deaths whose ADRs were mainly anaphylactic shock, dyspnoea and anaphylactoid reaction. In signal mining, the three methods produced 19 signals that were the same, and 14 of them were off-label ADRs. The frequency of TCM injections in children and elderly patients should be reduced and monitored strictly. Close observation is necessary during the first seven days after receiving the injection. The clinical use of Shenmai, Xiangdan, Salvia, Shengmai, Astragalus and Xuebijing injections should be investigated. Signal mining and more research are needed on TCM injections.
