Objective To investigate drug usage and costs of angina inpatients in Karamay Central Hospital in 2014 and to provide evidence and reference for evidence-based pharmacy study of single disease in circulation system. Methods The information of drug use and expenditure of angina inpatients were collected from the hospital information system (HIS). We analyzed the data including frequency, proportion and cumulative proportion by Excel 2007 software. Results We included 351 angina inpatients in Karamay Central Hospital in 2014 whose average age was 69.44±10.65 years old. Fifty-one kinds of drugs were used for angina therapy. The expenditure of drugs was 122.46 yuan per person. The symptomatic treatment drugs included 11 kinds of drugs. The top 3 usage drugs were isosorbide denigrates, aspirin, nitroglycerin. The secondary prevention medicines included 35 kinds of drugs, and were prescribed for 1 953 times; the anti-hypertensive drugs were most prescribed. The Chinese patent medicine were prescribed for 69 times. The compound Danshen dripping pill was the most prescribed drug. In total expenditure, the cost of clopidogrel, atorvastatin, irofiban ranked top three. Rivaroxaban, tirofiban, low molecular weight heparin were the top 3 drugs for per-time expenditure. Conclusion The top 3 used drugs are isosorbide denigrates, aspirin, nitroglycerin for angina inpatients in Karamay Central Hospital in 2014, while the top 3 total expenditure drugs are clopidogrel, atorvastatin and irofiban.
Objective To investigate inpatients disease constitution, costs and rational drug use in the Karamay Central Hospital in 2014 and provide baseline data for further evidence-based study. Methods The information of disease classification, single disease drug use and expenditure of inpatients in 2014 were collected from the Hospital Information System (HIS) of Karamay Central Hospital. We classified the diseases according to the international classification of diseases coding (ICD-10), and analyzed the data by Microsoft Excel 2007 software including frequency, proportion, cumulative proportion and sample average. Results ① A total of 24 936 inpatients in 2014 were included, with male to female ratio being 0.96 to 1 and minority rate being 22.95%. The top three systematic diseases were respiratory diseases, diseases concerning pregnancy, child birth and puerperium and circulatory system diseases respectively; ② The top three age groups were 25 to 59, ≥60 and 0 to 4 respectively; ③ The top three costs per capita of single disease were pulmonary infectious, tumor chemotherapy and symptomatic treatment respectively; the top three western medicine costs per capita were tumor chemotherapy, symptomatic treatment and pulmonary infection; the top three Chinese medicine costs per capita were chronic kidney disease (CKD), angina and ischemic stroke. Conclusion The single diseases ranking and percentage of inpatients in 2014 of Karamay Central Hospital were different from the disease burden of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the country and even the whole world. Based on the above results, the respiratory diseases and circulatory diseases were selected as the systematic evidence-based pharmacy study goal.
Objective To investigate drug usage and costs of ischemic stroke inpatients in Karamay Central Hospital in 2014 and to provide evidence and reference for evidence-based pharmacy study of single disease in circulation system. Methods The information of drug use and expenditure of ischemic stroke inpatients were collected from the hspital information system (HIS). We analyzed the data including frequency, proportion and cumulative proportion by Excel 2007 software. Results We included 522 ischemic stroke inpatients in Karamay Central Hospital in 2014, the average age was 67.58±13.27 years old. Forty three kinds of drugs were used for ischemic stroke therapy. The total expenditure of drugs was 10.94 million and 1 807.99 yuan per person. The most used drugs were for symptomatic treatment which included 18 kinds of drugs. The using frequency of aspirin, edaravone, oxircetan were the highest. The secondary prevention medicines included 23 kinds of drugs. The anti-hypertensive, lipid-lowering and hypoglycemic agents were prescribed mostly. Traditional Chinese medicines were prescribed 234 times, and the injection Ligustrazine with glucose was the most used drug.

Objective To investigate constitution and costs of inpatients with circulation system diseases in Karamay Central Hospital in 2014 and provide baseline data for further evidence-based pharmacy studies of circulation system single disease. Methods The information of drug use and expenditure of circulation system diseases were collected from the hospital information system (HIS). We analyzed the data of frequency, constituent ratio and cumulative frequency by using Excel 2007 software. Results A total of 2 898 inpatients with circulation system diseases were included. The top three diseases were cerebral infarction, angina and hypertension. The cerebral infarction and coronary heart disease accounted for the largest proportion in the cost. The top one disease of total hospitalization cost, drug expense per capita and inspection cost per capita was cerebral infraction. Conclusion Based on the above results, cerebral infraction and angina were selected as the evidence-based pharmacy study goal of single disease.
