SALAS ROJAS, Silvia Guadalupe; PEREZ MORALES, María Eugenia; MELENDEZ LOPEZ, Samuel Guillermo  y  CASTRO PASTRANA, Lucila Isabel. Adverse drug reactions related to admissions and hospital stays: a systematic review from 2000-2011. Rev. mex. cienc. farm [online]. 2012, vol.43, n.3, pp.19-35. ISSN 1870-0195.

The purpose of this article was to perform a detailed review of prospective studies of hospitalization incidence due to adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in hospitals in several countries. Articles published in English and Spanish in the MEDLINE/Pub Med, CINAHL and EBSCO database from 2000 to 2011 were searched. We examined 268 articles from which fifteen were reviewed. A variation in heterogeneity, follow-ups, medical services, size and ethnic characteristics of the population was recognized. The occurrence of ADRs in a hospital setting is high and underreported. Despite efforts to detect them, there still is a lack of knowledge by the health team.

Palabras llave : adverse drug reactions; hospital.
