摘要

背景:心血管疾病药物的匮乏和高昂的价格严重阻碍了人们获得这些药物,尤其是发展中国家的最贫困家庭。医院和社区药房的心血管药物供应和价格范围都非常有限。研究目的本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚西北部贡德尔镇医院药房中常用心血管药物的供应情况和价格变化。研究方法2022 年 7 月 13 日至 8 月 6 日,在贡德尔镇的两家医院和 13 家社区药房进行了横断面和模拟客户混合调查。分析和数据录入分别使用 SPSS Version 25 和 EpiData Version 4.2 进行。药品的供应和价格差异以百分比表示。显著性采用配对 t 检验。结果社区零售药店平均提供 33.22% 的心血管疾病药物。阿司匹林(81 毫克)、氨氯地平(5 毫克)、阿托伐他汀(20 毫克)和氢氯噻嗪(25 毫克)是社区药房最容易买到的药物。总体而言,在我们的分析过程中,有 28.00% 的医院药房提供心血管疾病药物。医院药房 25 种心血管疾病药物的平均成本为 0.699 美元,标准差为 1.513,低于社区药房的成本(2.741 美元,标准差为 6.015)(p = 0.045)。结论社区药房比医院药房提供更多的心血管疾病药物,尽管医院和社区药房提供的心血管疾病药物均少于世界卫生组织/美国心脏协会推荐的比例(80%)。两者的价格在统计上有显著差异。与医院药房相比,社区药房的平均价格更高。

Availability and Price Variations of Commonly Used Cardiovascular Medicines at Community and Hospital Pharmacies in Gondar Town, Northwest Ethiopia.

Background: Access to cardiovascular medications is severely hampered by their unavailability and high cost, particularly for the poorest households in developing nations. The availability and price range of cardiovascular medications are significantly limited in both hospital and community pharmacies. Objectives: The aim of this study is to assess the availability and price variations of commonly used cardiovascular medicines in hospital pharmacies in Gondar Town, northwest Ethiopia. Methods: From July 13 to August 6, 2022, a mixed cross-sectional and simulated client survey was carried out at two hospital and 13 community pharmacies in Gondar Town. The analysis and data entry were performed using SPSS Version 25 and EpiData Version 4.2, respectively. The availability and pricing variations of the medications are given as percentages. The significance was examined using paired t tests. Results: On average, community retail pharmacies offered 33.22% of CVD drugs. Aspirin (81 mg), amlodipine (5 mg), atorvastatin (20 mg), and hydrochlorothiazide (25 mg) were the most readily available drugs in community pharmacies. Overall, 28.00% of the hospital pharmacies had available CVD medicines during the course of our analysis. The average cost for the 25 CVD medications in hospital pharmacies was $0.699, with a standard deviation (SD) of 1.513, which was less than the cost at community pharmacies ($2.741 with an SD of 6.015) (p = 0.045). Conclusion: CVD medications were more available in community pharmacies than in hospital pharmacies, although there were fewer CVD medications available than recommended by the WHO/HAI (80%) in both hospital and community pharmacies. There was a statistically significant difference between the two prices. Compared to that at hospital pharmacies, the mean price at community pharmacies was greater.
