[Inventory of questions posed at a Regional Pharmacovigilance Center. Discussion about a possible coordination of informatics].
All the requests (162) from the 1st to the 31th of december 1988 (a period of one month) are analysed by the Paris Fernand-Widal ADR Monitoring Centre. The requests are classified as following: 74 pharmacological consults (39 about pregnancy, 9 for breast-feeding, 3 neonates or children, 2 about G6PD deficiency, 3 guide-lines after a therapeutic error, 3 requests for treatment of ADR, and 15 miscellaneous). 5 ADRs notified and reported to an other nearest Centre to the caller and 3 diagnosed latter as an ADR 49 ADRs registered turn to a request because of lack of information (age: 15; sex: 18; name: 1; address: 31,) or faithfullness (4) or several reasons (18). 31 general information about drugs. Usually, physicians request the Monitoring Centre but recently patients request directly the Centre; specially during pregnancy. The progressive number of the questions makes computerization necessary. A single system appears to be essential for all the Regional Centres to improve the quality of the answer and for the new ADR's alert.
