Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) caused by anti-tumor drugs in the hospital so as to provide reference for the rational use of clinical anti-tumor drugs. Methods: A total of 110 cases of ADRs due to anti-tumor drugs reported to China Hospital Pharmacovigilance System (CHPS) by the First People's Hospital of Pingdingshan from July 2020 to December 2020 were selected as research data. The basic information of patients with ADRs, such as gender, age, diagnosis, as well as drug types, administration method, organs (or systems) involved, clinical manifestations, and the classification and outcome of ADRs were counted and analyzed. Results: ADRs caused by anti-tumor drugs mainly occurred in middle-aged and elderly people greater than 40 but not over 65 years old (67 cases, accounting for 58.18%) and greater than 65 years old (36 cases, accounting for 32.73%), mainly with diseases of respiratory system tumors (42 cases, accounting for 38.18%) and digestive system tumors (31 cases, accounting for 28.18%); the 110 cases of ADRs mainly involved anti-tumor drugs such as lobaplatin, carboplatin and cisplatin (43 cases, accounting for 39.09%) that directly affected the structure and function of DNA, anti-tumor drugs such as pemetrexed and gemcitabine (20 cases, accounting for 18.18%) that interfered with nucleic acid biosynthesis, and adjuvant anti-tumor drugs, such as compound radix sophorae flavescentis and Aide injection (22 cases, accounting for 20.00%); the drugs involved in the ADRs were mainly intravenously administrated (103 cases, accounting for 93.64%). ADRs mainly involved the digestive system (54 cases, accounting for 49.09%), followed by the hematologic system (17 cases), skin and its adnexa (13 cases) and the whole body (11 cases). The occurrence time of ADRs was mainly less than or equal to 1d (33 cases, accounting for 30.00%) and longer than 1 but not over 3d (57 cases, accounting for 51.81%) after drug administration. The 110 cases of anti-tumor drug ADRs included 23 serious cases, 84 mild cases and 3 new cases. The patients basically improved (92 cases, accounting for 83.63%) or were cured (16 cases, accounting for 14.55%) after treatment. Conclusion: ADRs caused by anti-tumor drugs in the hospital have certain clinical characteristics and patterns, and major groups, drugs and organs (or systems) involved should be more strictly monitored for early detection and disposal to improve the use safety of anti-tumor drugs.
