Objective To analyze the costs of emergency medication in the West China Hospital within one month after Lushan earthquake based on actual medication of the victims’ disease spectrum. Methods We collected emergency medication data as evaluation index in the West China Hospital within one month after Lushan earthquake, including daily cost, cumulative percentage of pharmacology category, average cost per day/person, average cost per day/person when DUI=1, difference between average cost per day /person, and average cost per day/person when DUI=1, etc. Then, we input data using Excel software for statistically analyzing the costs of emergency medication within one month after the earthquake. Results During one month after the earthquake, the costs changed consistently with the number of victims, which implied the change of costs was rational. Injuries were classified into 6 categories and 12 kinds according to ICD-10. The costs of medication accounted for 71% of the total costs. Six kinds of illness accounted for 21%. Medication for injuries was classified into 3 categories and 18 kinds; average cost per day was 186.87 yuan and average cost per person was 1 702.70 yuan. Medication for illness was classified into 5 categories and 28 kinds; average cost per day was 38.96 yuan and average cost per person was 185.13 yuan. The mean value of average cost per day/person of injection was 14.52/5.08 times more than that of non-injection. Meanwhile, the mean value of average cost per day/person of imported medication was 7.10/5.28 times more than that of domestic medication. Conclusion The factors that impact the medication costs include: a) disease burden and traumatic conditions of the sick and wound; b) administration pathway (injection vs. non-injection); c) imported or domestic medication; and d) the rationality of taking DUI as evaluation index. When DUIgt;1, injection through the vein and imported medication take a larger share which increase the costs of medication. Emergency rescue package should mainly prepare for the injury. In order to ensure the timely, safe and effective medication, injection should be given priority to. We also should take into consideration crash-resistance/anti-quake package, reasonable dosage, convenience-to-use of drugs as well as the needs of the illness.
Objective To provide baseline date for further research by retrospectively investigating the disease constitution of over-60-year old patients in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University in 2011. Methods The information of over-60-year old outpatients was extracted from HIS and their diagnoses were classified by ICD-10. The data of single disease among top 3 categories of diseases were rearranged and analyzed by Excel software. Results The total of over-60-year old outpatients was 895 123 person-time in 2011, accounting for 19.65%, including 716 826 person-time in specialist outpatient clinics. The specialist diagnoses of 683 491 person-time could be classified by ICD-10, accounting for 95.35% of specialist outpatients. The top 12 diseases were neoplasm, circulatory, digestive, factors influencing health status and contacting with health services, respiratory, musculoskeletal system and connective tissues, nervous, eyes, symptoms/signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, non-classified, mental and behavioral disorders, endocrine, and genitourinary system diseases, and the cumulative constituent ratio was 92.96%. The main pathogenic sites of neoplasm were bronchus and lung (21.98%), esophagus (8.66%), stomach (8.10%), rectum (7.37%), prostate (5.86%), and liver and intrahepatic bile ducts (5.55%), with a cumulative constituent ratio of 57.72%. The main disease burden in circulatory system was hypertension (39.50%), chronic ischaemic heart disease (11.17%), and cerebral infarction (9.70%), and the cumulative constituent ratio was 60.38%. While the main disease burden in digestive system was gastritis and duodenitis (24.98%), other diseases of digestive system (9.26%), and other diseases of liver (8.90%), and the cumulative constituent ratio was 43.13%. There were more female than male among the over-60-year old outpatients (50.67% vs. 49.33%), and male was higher than female only in the incidence of neoplasm, respiratory, factors influencing health status and contacting with health services, and genitourinary system diseases. The disease constitution ratio of 60-69 years old patients was 58.21%. The top 3 neoplasm were the malignant tumors in digestive (38.20%), respiratory and intrathoracic organs (24.70%), and lymphoid, haematopoietic and related tissue (11.97%), with a cumulative constituent ratio of 74.87%. Conclusion The top 3 disease burden of over-60-year old outpatients in West China Hospital were neoplasm, circulatory and digestive diseases, which reflects the trend and law of treatment demands of old patients. It needs to deeply analyze the frequency and flow pattern of patients, and to provide evidence for preventing and treating geriatric diseases.
The number of clinical guidelines developed and published in different countries is increasing worldwide. Too many guidelines do not remain in regular use, even though the aim is to implement them in clinical practice. The scientific validity and reliability of the guidelines need to be reviewed. Here is a case presented to show how to optimally use the evidence-based guideline to improve clinical decision making.
ObjectiveTo retrospectively investigate the drug use of over-60-year inpatients with lung cancer in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University in 2011, and to compare with outpatients with lung cancer concurrently, so as to evaluate the rationality of drug use among over-60-year inpatients with lung cancer in the West China Hospital. MethodsThe information of over-60-year inpatients with lung cancer as initial diagnosis in the West China Hospital in 2011 was collected from the hospital information system (HIS), including patient information, drug use information, cost information, etc. Data rearrangement and analysis by classes and costs were carried out using Microsoft Excel 2010 software. Resultsa) There was 2 215 person-times of over-60-year inpatients with lung cancer in the West China Hospital of Sichuan University in 2011. A total of 5 classes, 63 kinds of anti-tumor and adjuvant therapy drugs were involved. The total drug use frequency was 12 398 person-times. The average medicine cost was 774.93 yuan. b) The ratio of patients using 1 to 4 kinds of drugs was 34.31%, 5 to 10 kinds was 41.9%, and 11 to 15 kinds was 12.63%. c) For etiological treatment, the ratio of chemotherapy drugs was 99.45%, and the most used was cisplatin. d) For symptomatic treatment, the ratio of analgesics was 66.69%; the ratio of antitussive drugs was 21.33%; and the ratio of skeletal related events prevention drugs was 11.98%. e) For anti-ADR treatment, the ratio of antiemetic drugs was 55.07%; the ratio of stomach protection drugs was 32.63%; and the ratio of hepatic protection drugs was 12.30%. f) For other treatment, the ratio of immunopotentiating drugs was 59.46%; and the ratio of hematopoietic growth factor was 25.42%. g) For Chinese patent medicine, drugs used over 400 person-times were Diyushengbai tablet, Javanica oil emulsion injection, Aidi injection, and Huisheng oral liquid. h) For single/combined treatment, the ratio of two-drug combined chemotherapy was 78.38%, one analgesics drug treatment was 66.21%, one hepatic protection drug treatment was 83.41%, two-drug combined antanacathartic treatment was 45.88%, one stomach protection drug treatment was 90.53%, one immunopotentiating drug treatment was 90.53%, one hematopoietic growth factor treatment was 82.31%, and one Chinese patent medicine treatment was 37.39%, respectively; and antitussive and skeletal related events prevention drugs were used alone. i) The use frequency of the top 10 drugs were: pantoprazole, tropisetron, ondansetron, diphenhydramine, thymopentin, cisplatin, Diyushengbai tablet, tramadol, Javanica oil emulsion injection, and Aidi injection. j) Compared with outpatients, inpatients drug use frequency was higher in chemotherapy, analgesics, antiemetic, stomach protection, hepatic protection drugs, and Chinese patent medicine; but lower in skeletal related events prevention drug; and similar to the drug use situation of outpatients in immunopotentiating drugs and hematopoietic growth factor drugs. ConclusionThe antitumor therapies were mainly the combination of two chemotherapy drugs or single drug regimen for over-60-year inpatients with lung cancer in the West China hospital of Sichuan University in 2011. The most frequently used adjuvant therapies are antalgic, antiemetic and stomach protection drugs. Chinese patent medicine and immunopotentiating drugs are in common use as well.
Objective To analyze the rationality of emergency medication in the West China Hospital after Lushan earthquake based on the actual drug use of earthquake victims. Methods We applied DDDs and DUI as evaluation index, input data using Excel software, and analyzed if the emergency medication was required for the injury/illness and the rationality of emergency medication. Results Earthquake victims mainly had trauma and wound infection and they were given antibiotics as main treatment one week after the earthquake. Drugs for the respiratory system and digestive system were mainly used in patients who mainly manifested as non-traumatic diseases and internal diseases four weeks after the earthquake. Among 49 kinds of drugs which could be calculated for the value of DUI, injection accounted for a larger proportion than non-injection (59.18% vs. 40.82%). The results showed that, the medication (DUI=1) only accounted for 12.24%; the medication (DUIlt;1, Mean=0.65) accounted for 38.78%, which implied insufficient drug use; the medication (DUIgt;1, Mean=1.77) accounted for 46.94%, which implied drug overuse. Conclusion Medication for every system is basically timely and rational when treating symptoms and causes in the West China Hospital within one month after Lushan earthquake. However, the rationality of emergency medications using DUI=1 under normal conditions still needs to be further verified.
