Background: Routinely collected electronic healthcare data have created new opportunities for active, near real-time post-marketing drug safety surveillance. Sequential analysis offers a natural framework for periodic signal detection as data accrue and may facilitate earlier identification of emerging safety concerns. However, its application in drug safety surveillance has not been comprehensively characterized. Objective: To systematically identify and characterize empirical applications and methodological developments of sequential analysis for safety signal detection in post-marketing drug surveillance using electronic healthcare data and to summarize key methodological approaches and evidence gaps in the literature. Eligibility criteria: Eligible studies included empirical observational studies that applied sequential analyses to periodically monitor prespecified drug-outcome pairs, and methodological studies that proposed or evaluated sequential approaches for post-marketing surveillance. Sources of evidence: Six databases (PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, WanFang, and VIP) were searched from inception to 21 July 2025. Charting methods: This scoping review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for scoping reviews. Two reviewers independently screened studies and extracted data using a standardized form. Findings were mapped to predefined analytical dimensions and synthesized narratively. Results: Forty-six studies were included, comprising 20 empirical observational studies and 26 methodological studies. All empirical studies were conducted in high-income countries, predominantly the United States, and 80% were pilot or feasibility assessments. Electronic health/medical records and administrative claims were the primary data sources. Considerable methodological heterogeneity was observed in study designs, analytical frequency, and sequential approaches. Two broad paradigms were identified: sequential testing and sequential risk estimation. Methodological studies were largely motivated by challenges inherent to observational settings, particularly confounding control. Conclusion: Despite growing interest and methodological development, the application of sequential analysis in post-marketing drug safety surveillance remains limited. Future work should prioritize stronger approaches to confounding, clearer implementation standards, and better integration of sequential monitoring into routine pharmacovigilance practice.
Baloxavir marboxil (baloxavir), a cap-dependent endonuclease inhibitor, has been proven safe and efficacious against influenza and approved for the treatment of influenza in children aged ≥ 5 years in China. There were limited data on baloxavir in Chinese pediatric patients aged 1 to < 5 years with influenza. This study aimed to evaluate the safety, clinical efficacy, and virologic outcomes of baloxavir for treating influenza in this younger age group. In this single-arm, multicenter trial, patients received a single oral dose of baloxavir (2 mg/kg for participants weighing < 20 kg, or 40 mg for participants weighing ≥ 20 kg to < 80 kg). The primary endpoint was safety. Efficacy, virology, and palatability endpoints were also assessed. All 100 enrolled children completed the study and received baloxavir. Adverse events were reported in 29 (29.0
Objective To analyze the serious medication errors (MEs) on dabigatran, and their related factors, in order to avoid or reduce the occurrence of adverse events. Methods Serious MEs related to dabigatran were extracted from the WHO global database of reported potential side effects of medicinal products (VigiBase) by using “Medication errors and other product use errors and issues” High Level Group Term (HLGT) of the international Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). Well-documented reports, vigiGrade completeness score ≥ 0.80, or with an informative narrative were analyzed with a focus on the clinical features of the cases. The PCNE Classification for drug-related problems (DRP) was used to classify medication errors in our analysis of cases. Results Until January 26, 2020, there were 453 cases with serious MEs related to dabigatran in VigiBase, and 113 were well-documented. Among these, 69 patients (61%) were hospitalized or had prolonged hospitalization, 16 (14%) had life-threatening events, and 12 (11%) died. The MEs occurred in the prescription phase in 77 cases, in administration in 35, and at the dispensing stage in one case. The MEs in prescription were related to a drug selection error in 44 cases (24 concerning contraindications and 20 drug interactions) and to dose error in 33 cases (17 with excessive dose; eight with insufficient frequency; four had an incorrect time; in three, the dose was too low; and in one, too frequent). The MEs in administration were medical-staff-related errors in five cases (three with wrong administration route, one administration omission, and one overdose), patient-related errors in 28 (14 insufficient dose or no administration, seven improper drug storage, four wrong administration method, and three over prescribed dose), and other errors in two (without efficacy monitoring). The dispensing error of a wrong drug strength occurred in a pharmacy. The main adverse events in the 113 patients were haemorrhage in 57 cases (50%) and ischemia in 29 cases (26%). Conclusion Based on the analysis of reports in VigiBase, serious MEs related to dabigatran mainly occurred during prescription and administration. Although the incidence of MEs with clinical consequences in the use of dabigatran cannot be determined, attention should be paid to selection of the appropriate dose to a right patient in the prescription, and to patient compliance and storage in drug administration. The patient harm mainly manifested itself as bleeding or ischemia including fatal outcome in rare patients.

Background Medication nonadherence is a significant public health problem as it contributes to poor clinical outcomes and increased healthcare costs. Older patients with multimorbidity and polypharmacy often have low medication adherence. These patients also have a high prevalence of potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) use. Aim To explore risk factors related to medication nonadherence in older patients with multimorbidity and polypharmacy and examine the association between medication nonadherence and PIM use. Method A multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted from May to December 2019 in 16 tertiary hospitals from 12 provinces and cities in China. Data were collected from outpatients 65 years or older with multimorbidity and polypharmacy. The PIMs were evaluated using the 2019 Beers Criteria. Self-reported medication adherence was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Results A total of 773 outpatients were recruited. The prevalence of medication nonadherence was 31.8%. In the univariate analysis, nonadherence was significantly associated with sex, cognitive impairment, stroke, visiting the same physicians, self-administration of medication, the percentage of drug costs ≥ 10% of the medical expenses, and PIMs for the alimentary tract and metabolism. In the multivariate analysis, the results almost paralleled those of the univariate associations. Notably, the use of PIM was significantly associated with medication adherence. Conclusion Several factors that influence medication adherence were identified. Targeted interventions can be implemented to improve medication adherence, such as encouraging self-administering medications and reducing medication expenses.
Objective:To help clinical pharmacists clearly position themselves, seize the opportunity, and actively participate in pediatric clinical research projects.Methods:Through SWOT analysis, this study analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of clinical pharmacists of Beijing Children's Hospital participating in drug clinical research from four aspects: superiority (S), weak (W), opportunity (O), and threat (T), so as to form development suggestions for pediatric clinical pharmacists in drug clinical research.Results:Pediatric clinical pharmacists could take advantage of external opportunities to initiate drug clinical studies and participate in drug clinical trials as the principal investigator, and participate in the formulation of clinical research protocols and drug safety incident management as a research team member. Relying on internal advantages, pediatric clinical pharmacists could strengthen popular science education, reduce irrational drug use, and promote clinical research. Seizing the external opportunities, they could improve their professional quality, play a role in drug management for clinical research and drug clinical research quality control to increase clinical research practice experience. Overcoming internal disadvantages, they could play a role in protecting subjects' rights and interests and provide consulting services to improve subjects' compliance.Conclusion:Pediatric clinical pharmacists should clearly position themselves, seize the opportunity of children's drug research and development, participate in drug clinical research, and provide better pharmaceutical services for children.

Objective:To analyze the status quo of clinical trials of rare disease drugs in China and abroad, to provide reference for further promoting the development of clinical research of rare disease drugs in China.Methods:By extracting the data of clinical trials of rare disease drugs in China's "drug clinical trial registration and information publicity platform", weanalyzedthe characteristics of clinical trials of rare disease drugs in China from the aspects of project registration, test type and stage, involved diseases, and scheme design, and comparedthem with the registration data of foreign clinical trials of rare disease drugs.Results:As of March 31, 2022, there were a total of 337 clinical trials of rare disease drugs in China's "drug clinical trial registration and information publicity platform", involving 37 diseases and 125 experimental drugs. Among them, there were 127 bioequivalence tests, accountingfor 37.6%; 278 domestic projects, accountingfor 82.4%; and 103 projects involving children, accountingfor about 37.0%.Compared with those in other countries, clinical trials of rare disease drugs in China had the following characteristics: (1) the number of clinical trialsshowedan obviously increasing trend; (2) there were few clinical trials of innovative drugs but many bioequivalence tests of generic drugs; and (3) the proportion of trials involving children was high.Conclusion:The clinical research on innovative drugs for rare diseases is still a weak link in China, and we need to improve legislation, increase financial support, enhance personnel training, and improve innovative research paths and methods.
The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical characteristics of fatal adverse events (AEs) of rivaroxaban combined with aspirin and to underline the importance of the rational use of drugs. The WHO global database of reported potential side effects of medicinal products (VigiBase) was searched for fatal AEs in the combined use of rivaroxaban and aspirin, and the clinical characteristics of those cases with sufficient information (vigiGrade completeness score ≥ 0.80) were analyzed. By January 19, 2020, 2309 fatal adverse event reports of rivaroxaban combined with aspirin from 21 countries were entered in VigiBase. One hundred and twenty cases contained further information, of which 42 were female (35%) and 78 were male (65%). The median age was 75 (range 34 to 93) years, and 109 cases (91%) were elderly patients (≥ 65 years). The AEs listed in the fatal case reports included bleeding in 114 cases (mainly intracranial hemorrhage and gastrointestinal hemorrhage, 59 and 46 respectively, accounting for 88%) and ischemic events in six cases (ischemic stroke in three, acute myocardial infarction in two, myocardial infarction combined with acute liver failure in one). Among the patients with bleeding events, 108 (95%) had existing risk factors for bleeding or for interacting with aspirin or rivaroxaban. These may be divided into the following: diseases (hypertension, renal impairment, history of stroke, peptic ulcer, or previous bleeding), drugs (high dose aspirin, antiplatelet drugs, anticoagulants, P-gp inhibitors/CYP3A4 inhibitors, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, steroids, and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), or other factors (e.g., elderly, low body weight, or excessive intake of ginger, fish oil, or alcohol). There were 45 cases with two or more of these risk factors in addition to rivaroxaban and aspirin. Patients with ischemic events are often in very high-risk groups of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or self-discontinuation of treated drugs. Medication errors occurred in 24 patients (20%): excessive treatment in 17 cases, contraindication in three, frequency error in two, excessive treatment combined with contraindication in one, and self-discontinuation in one. Fatal AEs related to rivaroxaban combined with aspirin, including bleeding and ischemic events, have been reported mostly in the elderly, and sometimes involved medication errors. The fatal AEs mainly manifested as serious bleeding, and most of them occurred in patients with concurrent multiple risk factors. Monitoring coagulation during rivaroxaban treatment is recommended in very high-risk ASCVD populations, and attention should be paid to prevention of medication errors.

The Fuyou (Fy) formula is an in-hospital preparation consisting of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that has been used for treating precocious puberty (PP) for more than 20 years. In this study, we aimed to clarify the effect of the Fy formula and its major components on PP. To confirm the effect of the Fy formula on the release of hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), GT1-7 cells were treated with estrogen to build the model group and subsequently treated with the Fy formula and its major components to explore their effects on the secretion of GnRH. The level of GnRH in GT1-7 cells was determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The results illustrated that, compared to the model group, the Fy formula inhibited the release of GnRH. In addition, the expression levels of proteins related to GnRH secretion, including GnRH, gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor (GnRHR), Kiss-1 metastasis-suppressor (Kiss1), G-protein coupled receptor 54 (GPR54), estrogen receptor α (ERα), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R), were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The results demonstrated that the Fy formula significantly reduced the level of GnRH secretion in the GT1-7 cell lines compared with the model group. Moreover, it significantly downregulated the expression of GnRH, GnRHR, Kiss1, GPR54, ERα, IGF-1, and IGF-1R. In summary, our results indicate that the Fy formula and its major components may inhibit the effects of estrogen, which alleviates PP through transcriptional regulation of target genes.

Research ward construction is one of the important carriers to promote the transformation from traditional hospital to research hospital. Since the launch of the research ward construction project in Beijing in 2020, 30 medical institutions have been incorporated into the construction system in three batches, including grade-A general hospitals and specialty hospitals. Pediatric clinical research has its particularity, which determines that the construction of research ward in pediatric medical institutions cannot copy the construction idea of general hospitals. Referring to the experience of research hospital and research ward construction both at home and abroad, Beijing Children's Hospital explored and practiced a way of operation and management of research wards with pediatric characteristics based on the current situation of domestic pediatric medical institutions. In this paper, we put forward some suggestions and measures for further improvement of such construction, such as strengthening the service capacity of clinical research support departments and the comprehensive capacity construction of research team, in order to standardize the management of clinical research, improve the quality of clinical research, and promote the hospital to develop into a research-oriented innovative hospital.
