Abstract

Cilj ovog rada bio je ispitati utjecaj pandemije na učestalost nastanka i karakteristike medikacijskih pogrešaka. Prijave medikacijskih pogrešaka su analizirane prema vrsti prijavitelja, dobi i spolu pacijenata, raspodjeli suspektnih lijekova prema ATK klasifikaciji, raspodjeli nuspojava prema djelatnim tvarima, ozbiljnosti prijava i njihovom kriteriju ozbiljnosti te prijavljenim vrstama medikacijskih pogrešaka. Analizirano je ukupno 12 349 nuspojava prijavljenih prije pandemije (1.1.2017.-31.12.2019.) te 12 391 prijava tijekom pandemije(1.1.2020.-31.12.2022.). Rezultati upućuju na značajno povećanje broja medikacijskih pogrešaka tijekom pandemije, kao i na porast broja nuspojava prijavljenih od strane pacijenata, što se može objasniti smanjenom dostupnošću zdravstvenih radnika i posljedičnom nemogućnosti savjetovanja pacijenata o ispravnom načinu primjene lijekova.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this study was to examine the impact of the pandemic on the frequency and characteristics of medication errors. Reports of medication errors were analyzed according to the type of reporter, the age and gender of patients, the distribution of suspect drugs according to ATC classification, the distribution of side effects according to active substances, the seriousness of reports and their seriousness criteria, and the reported types of medication errors. A total of 12,349 side effects reported before the pandemic (January 1, 2017 - December 31, 2019) and 12,391 reports during the pandemic (January 1, 2020 - December 31, 2022) were analyzed. The results indicate a significant increase in the number of medication errors during the pandemic, as well as an increase in the number of side effects reported by patients, which can be explained by the reduced availability of healthcare workers and the consequent inability to advise patients on the proper use of medications.
