title: Risk factors for adverse drug reactions communication of the CHDM.
abstract: In the CHDM (Comprehensive Hospital Drug Monitoring for Adverse Drug Reactions, Bern/St. Gallen), the data of the 34,838 computer registered patient admissions 1974-1988 were available for evaluation. We summarize the results of three different studies: 1. A multivariate analysis of the risk factors to developed an ADR during hospital stay, mainly the number of drugs, age, sex and renal function. 2. The occurrence rate of hyperkalemia under the treatment with diurectics, mainly potassium (K+)-losing with K+ substitution compared to the combination of K(+)-sparing with K(+)-losing preparations. 3. The occurrence-rate of exanthema in relation to amino-penicillin preparations an allopurinol. The results are presented in the communication. (Tab 7, Fig. 1, Ref. 15). Ref. 15.).
