Abstract:

The objective was to assess the forms used to report suspected adverse drug reactions (ADR) to the pharmacovigilance system in Brazil and twelve other Latin-American countries. The study was composed of three stages. During the first one, the forms were compared and scored against the presence of items critical to create ADR notification. In the second stage, the variables of the forms were quantified and classified regarding feasibility to contribute to an appropriate causality assessment. In the last stage, hierarchical clustering was used to identify the similar forms. The Venezuelan form scored the highest score (18 points). The median number of variables in the form of each country was 41 [26 (Guatemala) to 95 (Brazil)]. Most of the form variables were classified as life-critical and most part contributes as an alternative explanation to causality assessment. Four clusters were identified (1, 2, 3 and 4). The forms of Brazil and Bolivia formed two separate distinct groups, 1 and 3 respectively. The results of this study indicate a need to change the forms of the different countries studied or even some variables, making it more appropriate to the assessment of ADRs causality.
