METHODS: Based on evidence-based researches for off-label drug use, management system of off-label drug use was established in our hospital, and off-label drug use management was carried out. The effects of management system were evaluated with the number of records for off-label drug use and pass rate of approval as indexes. RESULTS: Since the year of 2011, the management system for off-label drug use had gradually established and improved in our hospital; the mode of registration and approval for off-label drug use was established by based on a multi-disciplinary team management and quality classification for clinical evidence. Up to 2016, a total of 252 records for off-label use were submitted, among which 159 (accounting for 59.77%) were for pediatrics and 93 (accounting for 34.96%) were for gynecology and obstetrics. Among the submitted records, 181 had passed the examination and approval, and the pass rate was 64.29%. Special prescription comments indicated that the numbers of off-label use medical orders in inpatient medical orders showed a downward trend, and the proportion of recorded medical orders of off-label use had increased from 17.33% in 2013 to 84.00% in 2016. CONCLUSIONS: The management system for off-label drug use in medical institutions can effectively improve the clinical understanding of off-label drug use, standardize the behavior of off-label drug use.
