title: Drug utilization in Europe--report of the EURO-DURG workshop and joint symposium with the EACPT Berlin 16.9-18.9 1997. European Drug Utilization Research Group. European Association for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics.
abstract: Around 1,000 participants from all European countries, but also from overseas, visited the Second International Congress of the European Association for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics (EACPT) in Berlin. The EACPT appreciates the cooperation with other scientific organizations. Five out of 19 symposia offered could be presented jointly with other European societies. One of the symposia took place in conjunction with the European Drug Utilization Research Group (EURO-DURG). The main topic of this joint symposium, led by Professor Ulf Bergman (Huddinge, Sweden) and Dr. Liselotte von Ferber (Cologne, Germany), was the use of drugs and its determinants "in real life" compared to its use under conditions of clinical research. The poster exhibition of this symposium included 80 posters. Attended by 110 participants from 25 countries, the EURO-DURG workshop took place at the very beginning of the joint symposium.
