Abstract:

〔Abstract〕 Objective: To evaluate the drug utilization and rationality of young patients with cerebral ischemic stroke in the First Affiliated Hospital of Dali University from 2018 to 2020. Methods: Drug utilization review(DUR) and drug utilization evaluation(DUE) were used to evaluate the type, frequency and rationality of drugs used by patients. Results: 61 drugs in 13 categories were applied in the treatment of 75 patients, including 48 western drugs and 13 traditional Chinese medicine injections, among which the proportion of lipid-regulating drugs was the highest, reaching 98.7%. DUR results showed that the drug utilization index(DUI) of 11 drugs was greater than 1, the DUI of 24 drugs was 1, and the DUI of 26 drugs was less than 1. Western drugs with DUI greater than 1 were mainly acid inhibitor and antihypertensive drugs, while drugs with DUI less than 1 were of a wide variety, mostly caused by dose reduction in combination drugs. DUE results showed that the monitoring rate of drug-related laboratory test indicators was low, and the main adverse reactions were gastrointestinal reactions. After drug treatment, the clinical symptoms of 74 patients were improved. Conclusion: The selection of drugs for young patients with cerebral ischemic stroke in this hospital is reasonable, but it is necessary to strengthen the management of acid inhibitor and antihypertensive drugs, and strengthen the monitoring of related laboratory indicators and adverse reactions during treatment.
