| アブストラクト | Therapeutic ineffectiveness involves drug-related therapeutic failure, inefficacy or resistance and has not been sufficiently studied. Objective of our study was to evaluate reporting trends in therapeutic ineffectiveness by year and describe factors affecting therapeutic ineffectiveness using the Korea Adverse Event Reporting System. Proportion of therapeutic ineffectiveness reports was based on total submitted reports between 2000 and 2016. Utilizing 2016 alone, we compared the characteristics of therapeutic ineffectiveness with age group and gender matching by random extraction. We conducted a logistic regression analysis to estimate reporting odds ratios (ROR) and its 95% confidence intervals (CI) for reports by type of reporters, e.g., doctors, pharmacists, or consumers. We presented most frequent reports by the anatomical main groups and therapeutic subgroups according to the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) classification system. For the 17-years, the proportion of therapeutic ineffectiveness adverse drug reactions reporting ranged from 0.0% to 3.7% between 2000 and 2016. Of 228,939 reports, 2,797 (1.2%) were submitted in 2016. Consumers accounted for 6.92% of reports and doctors accounted for 45.49%, in which, consumers were more likely to report therapeutic ineffectiveness than doctors (adjusted ROR 3.98; 95% CI, 2.92 to 5.41). According to the ATC classification system, "nervous system" was the most frequently reported anatomical group (18.7%) and "parathyroid hormones and analogues" was reported most frequently in the pharmacological subgroup (23.7%). Teriparatide, a drug used to treat osteoporosis, had the most reports (11.0%). Therapeutic ineffectiveness reports may be used as a scientific tool for the reevaluation of respective drugs in order to confirm of its therapeutic effects. |
