Brief Summary

French population grows older year after year: 24.3% people were over 60 years old in 2006 against 20.6% in 2000 and the expected number might be over 33% in 2050. The elderly suffer from lots of illnesses, so they usually take lots of drugs. Therefore, this drug use is most likely to have adverse drug reactions. Finally, according to Health Ministry, the number of emergency department consultations doubled from 1996 to 2016. Consequently, it is interesting to study the impact of drug iatrogenic effects on emergency consultations. It would help to prevent these adverse drug reactions as we prescribe those drugs : First, do not harm.

Conditions

Iatrogenic Disease

Keywords

iatrogenic; emergency; incidence; adverse drug reaction

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Proportion of patients coming to emergency department because of an adverse drug reaction

  We will study each case and determine whether the consultation in the emergency department is due to adverse drug reaction or not.Number of patients having an emergency department consultation because of an adverse drug reaction divided by the total number of patients having an emergency department consultation during the same period of time.

  10 days (chosen at random between 21st June and 22nd September 2018)

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Average of patient age among the patients consulting because of an adverse drug reaction

  10 days

• Proportion of male and female patients consulting because of an adverse drug reaction

  10 days

• Number of treatments administered to patients who consult because of an adverse drug reaction

  1 day

• Frequency of the drugs leading to a consultation in emergency department because of an adverse drug reaction

  10 days
