[Characteristics of adverse drug reaction in 403 cases from a specialty stomatology hospital].

OBJECTIVES

To analyze the characteristics of adverse drug reaction (ADR) in a specialized stomatology hospital and thus provide references for clinical rational drug use and risk management.

METHODS

A total of 403 ADR cases reported to the military ADR monitoring system by the School of Stomatology, The Fourth Military Medical University from January 2022 to December 2025 were collected. Descriptive statistical and Pareto chart analyses were conducted by using Excel 2019.

RESULTS

ADR reports were predominantly submitted by pharmacists (91.32%). The proportion of male patients was slightly higher than that of females (53.35% vs. 46.65%). Patients aged 41-60 years accounted for the highest proportion (37.72%) of cases. Intravenous administration was the most common route (60.79%). The main drug categories causing ADR were anti-infective (31.02%), antineoplastic (28.78%), and immune system (18.36%) agents. ADR primarily involved the digestive system (32.75%), skin, and appendages (29.53%). Three new ADR cases and 10 severe ADR cases, with all cases involving multiple drug categories, were reported.

CONCLUSIONS

ADR in specialized stomatology hospitals exhibit certain specialty-specific characteristics, and high-risk drugs predominate. Although the incidence of severe ADR is low, enhanced monitoring is still required. Establishing an ADR early warning system for stomatology hospitals, promoting multidisciplinary collaboration, and improving clinical medication safety are recommended.
