It is associated with morbidity, mortality, increased hospital stay and reduced quality of life. Moreover, pediatric patients are quite susceptible to drug therapy problems.Thus this study aimed to assess drug therapy problem and its contributing factors among pediatric patients diagnosed with infectious disease admitted to pediatric ward of Jimma university medical center, from April ,2018 to June 30, 2018.\u0000Methodology: Prospective observational study was conducted among pediatric patients with infectious disease admitted to Jimma university medical center from April 01,2018 to June 30, 2018. Drug therapy problems were identified by using Cipolle’s and strand’s drug therapy problem classification method. Patient’s written informed consent was obtained after explaining the purpose of the study. Patient’s specific data were collected using structured questionnaire. Data was entered into Epi data version 4.0.2 and then exported to statistical software package version 21.0 for analysis. To identify predictors of drug therapy problems occurrence, multiple stepwise backward logistic regression analysis were done. The 95% CI was used to show the accuracy of data analysis and statistical significance was considered at p-value <0.05.\u0000Results: A total of 304 pediatric patients were included in the study. Of these, 226(74.3%) patients had at least one drug therapy problem during their hospital stay. A total of 356 drug therapy problems were identified among two hundred twenty six patients. Non-compliance (28.65%) and dose too low (27.53%) were the most common type of drug therapy problems while disease comorbidity [AOR=3.39, 95% CI= (1.89-6.08)], Polypharmacy [AOR=3.16, 95% CI= (1.61-6.20)] and more than six days stay in hospital [AOR=3.37, 95% CI= (1.71-6.64) were independent predictors of drug therapy problem occurrence.\u0000Conclusion and recommendation: Drug therapy problems were common in pediatric patients with infectious disease in the study area. Presence of comorbidity, Polypharmacy and Prolonged hospital stay were the predictors of drug therapy problem in this finding. Therefore, to overcome the significant gaps in pediatric pharmaceutical care, clinical pharmacists, Pediatricians and other health care professional have to work in collaboration.\u0000Keywords: Drug therapy problem, Pediatric, infectious disease, Ethiopia","PeriodicalId":23793,"journal":{"name":"World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, International Journal of Pharmacological and Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77302382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although hiccups rarely influence disease prognosis, they can reduce tolerance to medication regimens and decrease quality of life. Our previous analysis of the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report Database identified male sex and height as factors related to hiccup risk. While the clinical features and pathogenesis of hiccups have been partially elucidated, there has been no analysis of the relation between hiccups and clinical variables, and to this end, we examined the relation among hiccups, patients’ demographics and clinical risk factors. Methods: In the present study, we conducted a more extensive examination of patient demographics, physical characteristics, primary disease, and other clinical characteristics to identify additional risk factors for medication-induced hiccups in patients hospitalized at Musashino Red Cross Hospital between April 2014 and December 2014. We conducted a statistical analysis of patient demographics, physical characteristics, and other clinical characteristics in patients with and without hiccups hospitalized at Musashino Red Cross Hospital between April 2014 and December 2014. In total, 7603 patients (> 40 years) and 2343 patients (≤ 40 years) were enrolled in the present study. Results: In the patients > 40 years, 228 exhibited hiccups. Univariate analysis indicated that male sex, tall stature, low BMI, chemotherapy, and death within 24 hours of hospitalization were related to hiccup risk. Furthermore, a multivariable analysis identified male sex, chemotherapy, low BMI, and death within 24 hours of hospitalization as independent risk factors for hiccups. Neurovascular diseases and neoplasms (of renal pelvis, brain, bile duct, bladder, esophagus, and lung/bronchus) were also identified as independent risk factors in the patients > 40 years. In the patients ≤ 40 years, most with neonatal diseases, 28 exhibited hiccups. Sex was not a significant risk factor in the patients ≤ 40 years old. Conclusions: We suggest that low BMI is a reliable physical index related to hiccup risk, while chemotherapy and certain malignant tumors are clinical risk factors. These results may assist in elucidating the underlying mechanisms and guiding therapy to reduce hiccup risk.","PeriodicalId":23793,"journal":{"name":"World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology, International Journal of Pharmacological and Pharmaceutical Sciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88097186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
