- Abstract: OBJECTIVE:To examine the influence of key monitoring drugs policy in Anhui province and Sichuan province on the change of adjuvant drugs for promoting its rational use and providing a basis for policy formulation. METHODS: Based on the key monitoring drug libraries formed in the monitoring catalogs of all the provinces, combining with the key monitoring drug catalogs in Anhui province and Sichuan province, this study selected the characteristics of drug-typicality and data availability through the selection of adjuvant drug selection criteria. Eight drugs of Anhui province and 10 drug of Sichuan province were selected as research objects. The study extracted monthly data from 3 hospitals in Anhui province from November 2014 to September 2017 and quarterly data from 9 hospitals in Chengdu, Sichuan province in the first quarter of 2014 to the first quarter of 2017. Interrupted Time Series (ITS) model was used to analyze the changes of dosage and amount of sample drugs and reference drugs. RESULTS: ①After the implementation of the key monitoring drugs policy in Anhui province in November 2015, the usage trend of adjuvant drugs changed from rising to declining, with a significant decrease in the dosage (β3=-0.035, P<0.001) and amount (β3=-0.025, P<0.05). ②The monitoring measures implemented by Anhui province in January 2016 had no significant difference on the decrease of the dosage of adjuvant drugs (β3=-0.010, P>0.1) and the amount of money (β3=-0.001, P>0.1). ③After the implementation of the key monitoring drugs policy in the first quarter of 2016 in Sichuan Province, the declining trend of the use of adjuvant drugs was widened with a decrease of the dosage (β3=-0.045, P<0.001) and the amount (β3=-0.037,P<0.001). CONCLUSION: The implementation of key monitoring drugs policy in Anhui province and Sichuan province can effectively control the use of most adjuvant drugs, with a significantly decrease of the dosage and amount.
