Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To explore the hotspots of aging adaptation of drug package inserts， and to provide evidence for the development of aging adaptation of drug package inserts in China. METHODS The relevant English literature on drug package inserts for the elderly published from 2012 to 2022 was retrieved from Web of Science Core Collection； bibliometric analysis was performed by using VOSviewer and CiteSpace software， to explore research hotspots in this field， and summarize obstacles and solutions for the development of this field. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS This study collected a total of 335 literature related to the aging adaption of drug package inserts， from 819 research institutions in 51 countries （regions）， involving 2 174 authors. The research development of drug package insert adaptation for the elderly has slowed down in the past decade， and developed countries such as the United States and Japan dominate this field. Authors such as Wolf from Northwestern University in the United States， have the largest number of publications（12 literature）. The research focuses in this field include the risk management of medication for the elderly， the updating of medication information for the elderly in drug package inserts， and the understanding and compliance of the elderly with drug package inserts and their influencing factors. The solutions to related obstacles in the development of aging adaption in drug package inserts include improving the visibility and readability of drug package inserts， filling in the information on elderly medication in drug package inserts， and so on. China can learn from the experiences and methods of other countries， conduct investigations into the influencing factors of elderly package inserts and pharmacokinetic studies based on the characteristics of the Chinese population， and improve the safety of medication for elderly patients in multiple dimensions.
