Abstract
Drug induced disorders incidence is increasing year by year and severe cutaneous adverse drug reactions (CADRs) are rare and life threating. The incidence of adverse effects is known higher in elderly people but in Mongolia, studies on drug have been used in elderly patients were treated in the National Dermatology Center of Mongolia (NDCM) have not yet been conducted.
The purpose of this study is to reveal the medicines affecting the development adverse reaction from 2013 to 2021 and aging groups’ specialty.
We conducted a study on the medical histories who were hospitalized at the NDCM from 2013 to 2021. We used retrospective design in the medical histories with L23, L27, and L50-53 diagnosis (ICD classification) and were selected medical histories that were patients were above 55 years. The age group classification was based on the “National Strategy for Population Ageing 2009-2030”. We analyzed total 170 elderly patients with CADRs (45.3%) were treated in that hospital during 2013-2021 and other patients dermatitis (approximately 55%) causes were food and chemical substances. In the 2013, geriatric CADRs cases were 20, in the 2021 were 31, therefore CADRs are likely to increase year by year. The common offending drug groups were antimicrobials (40%), and central nervous system drugs (1.4%). In the old age groups CADRs cases were 89 (55%), and young old group 46 (28.7%). The common offending drug groups were antimicrobials and central nervous system drugs for elderly patients. The most common adverse drug reactions of old age group.
