Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We detected signals and generated hypotheses based on the ADR Database (1), ascertained the actual prescribing status of psychiatric drugs to children based on the MDV analyzer (2), and verified cardiovascular disease risk concerns regarding pediatric ADHD medications based on the JMDC database (3). (1) We identified the contents and trends of adverse drug reaction (ADR) reports in children from 2004 to 2017. In signal detection and hypothesis generation, there is a need to properly understand the characteristics of ADR reports included in the spontaneous reporting database. (2) We identified prescribing trends of ADHD, antiepileptic, and schizophrenia medications for pediatric ADHD patients, pediatric epilepsy patients, and pediatric schizophrenia patients. (3) The risk of cardiovascular events in pediatric ADHD prescribers is not necessarily high, but the need for caution is suggested.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
学術的意義:海外で報告されていた、ADHD治療薬服用小児患者における心血管疾患リスク上昇に関する懸念について、本邦の大規模データベースで明らかにしたことは、海外の懸念を本邦独自のデータで検証可能であることを証明した、学術的にも有意義な成果である。 社会的意義:薬物治療を必要としている小児ADHD・てんかん・統合失調症患者の実態を明らかにしたことは、小児における安全性懸念事項の検証・精査の必要性や優先順位を検討することを可能としたという点で、社会的に有意義な成果である。
