OBJECTIVE To investigate the application status of prescription pre-review systems in healthcare institutions of Yunnan province， evaluate their system functions and management capabilities， and provide a practical basis for promoting rational drug use. METHODS A questionnaire survey was conducted among public healthcare institutions at or above the secondary level in Yunnan province to investigate the deployment status of the systems. A capability maturity assessment framework was constructed， encompassing 6 dimensions and 39 indicators， including real-time prescription review， prescription correlation review， rule setting， evidence-based information support， prescription authority management， and system operation management. This framework was then used to evaluate the institutions that had implemented the pre-review systems. RESULTS A total of 100 valid questionnaires were collected， with 37 institutions having adopted prescription pre-review systems， mainly tertiary hospitals. The system predominantly adopted a modular architecture and was embedded into the hospital information system through application programming interfaces and middleware， providing certain capabilities for real-time prescription risk identification. Evaluation results indicated that basic functions such as reviewing indications， contraindications， and drug compatibility performed well， while deficiencies remained in functions related to parenteral nutrition prescription， review of drug dosage for specific diseases， individual patient characteristic recognition， and rule setting. Moreover， the construction of review centers and establishment of management systems were also not well-developed. CONCLUSIONS The overall application rate of prescription pre-review systems in Yunnan province remains low. System functions and management mechanisms require further improvement. It is recommended to enhance information infrastructure in lower-level institutions and explore regionally unified review models to promote standardized and intelligent development of prescription review practices.

OBJECTIVE To systematically sort out the drugs causing drug-induced liver injury （DILI） and their relevant information， and to develop the Expert consensus on the medication catalog for drug-induced liver injury and rational drug use （hereinafter referred to as the Consensus）， so as to provide a reference for rational clinical use. METHODS Systematic searches were conducted across various literature databases， guideline retrieval websites and professional liver injury websites. Drugs identified as causing DILI from the included literature and online resources were extracted and assigned scores based on source credibility： three points for LiverTox A-class drugs and two points for B-class drugs； two points for drugs from Hepatox and guidelines； and one point for drugs from consensus and related literature sources. Drugs classified as LiverTox category A/B or with total scores ≥4 were included in the preliminary list of DILI-causing drugs. Opinions were collected and integrated from a multidisciplinary expert panel comprising 45 medical and pharmaceutical experts from 27 provinces across China through three rounds of the Delphi method （including questionnaires and discussion sessions）， and after revision， the final version of Consensus was formed. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS This Consensus included 12 traditional Chinese medicines （TCMs） such as Polygoni Multiflori Radix and Ephedrae Herba， 151 Western medicines including amiodarone and atorvastatin， along with rational use information. For TCM， eight rational use information were included： evidence-based score， liver injury classification based on pathogenesis， liver injury classification based on biochemical abnormality pattern， clinical phenotype， laboratory examination manifestations， latency period， recovery time， and management strategies. For Western medicines， six additional items were included based on the TCM， namely liver function monitoring， discontinuation， contraindications， cautions， dose adjustments， and risk factors， totaling 14 items. This Consensus systematically compiles DILI drugs and their rational use information， which will support clinicians in enhancing the prevention， identification， and management of DILI， reducing the incidence of liver injury， and ensuring patient medication safety and efficacy.

As the core vehicle for preserving and transmitting traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） academic thought and clinical experience， the establishment of a robust quality evaluation system for TCM clinical case reports is a crucial component in the current standardization and modernization of TCM. Based on the practical experience of constructing the China Clinical Cases Library of Traditional Chinese Medicine by the China Association of Chinese Medicine， this study conducted a comprehensive analysis of critical challenges， including insufficient authenticity and unfocused evaluation criteria. It proposed a three-dimensional evaluation framework grounded in the structure-process-outcome logic， encompassing three dimensions of authenticity and standardization， characteristics and advantages， application and translational impact. This framework integrated 12 key evaluation indicators in a systematic manner. The model preserved the academic characteristics of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment， while aligning with modern scientific research standards， achieving a balance between individualized TCM experience and standardized evaluation. Concurrently， this study provided theoretical foundations and methodological guidance for evaluating the quality of TCM clinical cases， contributing significantly to the inheritance of TCM knowledge， evidence-based practice， and the reform of talent evaluation mechanisms.

Objective To compare and analyze the changes in the use of lung cancer therapeutic drugs before and after the national initiation of health insurance negotiations, and to study the impact of a series of policies on the use of lung cancer drugs. Methods Descriptive statistical methods were used analyze the basic situation of lung cancer patients and the changes of corresponding therapeutic drugs in Peking University People's Hospital from 2014 to 2020, as well as to the hospital procurement data of lung cancer therapeutic drugs in the database of the Chinese Medicine Economic Information. Results From 2014 to 2020, the total cost per capita of lung cancer patients showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, increasing before the national drug negotiation and gradually decreasing after the negotiation. After 2017, the use of small ATC categories such as VEGF/VEGFR inhibitors and EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors increased significantly, along with a rise in the number of monoclonal antibody varieties. The DDDs of osimertinib, anlotinib, alectinib, crizotinib and other drugs in the medical insurance list increased significantly, and the average daily cost decreased significantly. Conclusion The number of hospitalization days for lung cancer patients had continued to shorten in recent years, and the structure of drug use had changed significantly. The adjustment of the medical insurance catalog had led to more innovative lung cancer drugs showing the trend of volume up and price down.

OBJECTIVE To provide a basis for the rational use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs （NSAIDs） in the perioperative period， and provide practical methods and technical references for the evaluation and selection of NSAIDs in medical institutions. METHODS Initiated by the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University， Clinical Pharmacy Professional Committee of the Shandong Pharmacists Association， Clinical Individualised Drug Testing and Guidance Branch of the Shandong Medical Association， Comprehensive Clinical Medication Evaluation Working Committee of the Shandong Pharmacists Association， Pain Branch of the Shandong Medical Association in conjunction with several medical institutions in Shandong Province organized 22 pharmaceutical experts and medical experts from 17 hospitals in Shandong Province to form a consensus on the rational use and comprehensive clinical evaluation of NSAIDs in the perioperative period through the literature research method， expert interview method and questionnaire survey method based on evidence-based medicine. A comprehensive clinical evaluation was also conducted on a total of 13 specifications of 9 commonly used clinical drug varieties in Shandong Province， including celecoxib， etoricoxib， imrecoxib， ibuprofen （containing reference/original drugs and national/Shandong Province’s centralized volume-based procurement varieties）. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS A consensus opinion was formed on preoperative prophylactic use and postoperative use of NSAIDs， as well as contraindications， digestive tract risk， cardiovascular system risk， bleeding risk and kidney injury risk in the perioperative period. The evaluation and selection criteria of perioperative use of NSAIDs were established， involving 6 dimensions of safety， efficacy， economy， innovation， appropriateness， and accessibility. The results of comprehensive clinical evaluation showed that the top 6 drugs （scores over 70） were Celecoxib capsules （Celebrex） and Celecoxib capsules （Naiqi）， Diclofenac sodium sustained-release tablets，Etocoxib tablets （Arcoxia） and Etocoxib tablets （Qimingshu）， and Parecoxib sodium for injection. With the progress of clinical research， this consensus will be further updated and adjusted， and medical institutions can combine with the practice to develop a comprehensive clinical evaluation system of NSAIDs suitable for their institutions.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the possible effects of Cefuroxime sodium for injection/Sodium chloride injection （referred to as “Cefuroxime powder-liquid dual-chamber bag”） or Cefuroxime sodium for injection （referred to as “Cefuroxime powder injection”） used in perioperative patients on hospital costs under the background of medical insurance payment reform from the perspective of the hospital. METHODS Assuming that the effectiveness and safety of Cefuroxime powder-liquid dual-chamber bag （scenario 1） and Cefuroxime powder injection （scenario 2） were the same for perioperative patients， the cost-effectiveness of both scenarios was compared by calculating the costs of drug， infusion sets， and labor in the pharmacy intravenous admixture service. The robustness of the results was explored through univariate sensitivity analysis and different centralized procurement share scenarios analysis. RESULTS The base-case analysis showed that the average cost per treatment course for patients using cefuroxime in scenario 1 and scenario 2 were 314.54 yuan and 349.41 yuan， respectively， meaning scenario 1 saved 34.87 yuan per capita compared to scenario 2. The univariate sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis indicated that the research results were robust. CONCLUSIONS The application of Cefuroxime powder-liquid dual-chamber bag in perioperative patients can save medical costs while ensuring the quality and efficiency of medical services， compared to Cefuroxime powder injection.

OBJECTIVE To further standardize the dispensing management standard of intravenous infusion drugs for clinical trials in pharmacy intravenous admixture services （PIVAS）， and provide reference for medical institutions to provide high-quality pharmaceutical services. METHODS Initiated by PIVAS Group， Hospital Pharmacy Professional Committee， Shanghai Pharmaceutical Association， jointly led by Longhua Hospital， Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Shanghai Geriatric Medical Center， a writing group was established by PIVAS experts from multiple medical institutions to discuss the basic requirements and dispensing process of intravenous infusion drugs for clinical trials in PIVAS. The experts from the leading unit sorted out， summarized， analyzed， fed back and revised the opinions， and finally reached Expert Consensus on Dispensing Management of Intravenous Infusion Drugs for Clinical Trials in PIVAS. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The main contents of this consensus include information management， operation process， fund management and document management of intravenous infusion drugs for clinical trials in PIVAS. This consensus establishes a more standardized model for dispensing management of intravenous infusion drugs for clinical trials in PIVAS， by standardizing clinical trail drug management operational procedures， accurately recording and preserving drug-related information， with the aim of achieving standardized and meticulous management of PIVAS’s receipt of clinical trial drugs.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-utility of benmelstobart combined with anlotinib and chemotherapy as first-line treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer （ES-SCLC） from the perspective of China’s healthcare system. METHODS Based on the data from the ETER 701 study， a partitioned survival model was constructed with a cycle of 3 weeks to simulate the total cost， quality-adjusted life years （QALY）， and incremental cost-effectiveness ratio （ICER） over 10 years for patients with ES- SCLC treated with benmelstobart plus anlotinib and chemotherapy， or chemotherapy alone. One-way sensitivity analysis and probability sensitivity analysis were performed to verify the robustness of the simulation results. The willingness-to-pay （WTP） threshold was set at 3 times the per capita gross domestic product （GDP） of China in 2023， which amounted to 268 074 yuan/QALY. RESULTS Compared with chemotherapy alone， benmelstobart combined with anlotinib and chemotherapy gained 0.438 QALY more at the cost of 403 505.55 yuan more， with an ICER of 922 031.37 yuan/QALY， which was higher than the WTP threshold set in this study. One-way sensitivity analysis showed that benmelstobart’s cost and utility value of the progression-free survival state had a greater impact on the ICER value； probabilistic sensitivity analysis confirmed the robustness of the model； only when the price of benmelstobart was reduced by 75.4%， the combined regimen would be cost-effective. CONCLUSIONS The first-line treatment of ES-SCLC with benmelstobart combined with anlotinib and chemotherapy is not cost-effective from the perspective of China’s healthcare system at present.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current status of pharmaceutical care in medical institutions in China， and provide experience and suggestions for better development of pharmaceutical care. METHODS Questionnaire survey was used to investigate the development of pharmaceutical care in medical institutions in 31 provinces （autonomous regions and municipalities directly） in March 2023， and descriptive analysis and binary logistic regression analysis on the influencing factors of pharmaceutical care were conducted. RESULTS A total of 1 368 questionnaires were sent out， and 1 304 valid questionnaires were collected with the effective recovery rate of 95.32%. Pharmaceutical care was carried out in 671 medical institutions （51.46%）， and the rates of pharmaceutical care in tertiary， secondary， primary and other medical institutions were 74.79%， 27.97% and 7.35%， respectively. The average number of patients receiving pharmaceutical care was 2 638.96 per year， and there were 8.33 pharmacists in each medical institution to carry out pharmaceutical care， among which 93.68% were clinical pharmacists. The main departments covered by pharmaceutical care services included respiratory and critical care medicine， cardiology， intensive care unit， endocrinology， oncology， gastroenterology， obstetrics and gynecology and other departments. There were only 48 medical institutions （7.15%） with additional compensation for pharmaceutical care services. The main experiences of developing pharmaceutical care were to pay attention to talent cultivation and discipline construction， but the main difficulties were serious shortage of staff and qualified talents， low compensation level and low enthusiasm. Grade of medical institutions， the number of pharmacists engaged in clinical pharmacy， the number of qualified clinical pharmacists and the degree of information in the pharmacy department were the main influencing factors for carrying out pharmaceutical care （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS In recent years， pharmaceutical care in Chinese medical institutions has made certain progress， while that of primary medical institutions， secondary medical institutions and other medical institutions should be improved. In the future， it is still necessary to further enhance the implementation of pharmaceutical care， promote personnel training， and attach importance to demonstrating the value of pharmaceutical care， thereby promoting the sustainable and high- quality development of pharmaceutical care.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of vitamin D analogue for postmenopausal osteoporotic women in China. METHODS A Markov microsimulation model was developed to analyze the clinical and economic outcomes of eldecalcitol， alfacalcidol and calcitriol for postmenopausal osteoporosis from the healthcare system perspective in China. The clinical parameters required for the model were derived from network meta-analysis， while cost and utility data were primarily obtained from the literature. The cycle length was 1 year ， the time horizon was life time， and the willingness-to-pay threshold was 0.5 times the gross domestic product per capita in China in 2023（44 679 yuan/QALY）. Model uncertainty was tested with one-way sensitivity analysis， probabilistic sensitivity analysis， and scenario analysis. RESULTS The quality-adjusted life years （QALYs） for eldecalcitol were calculated to be 12.03 QALYs， which were higher than those for alfacalcidol （11.94 QALYs） and calcitriol （11.92 QALYs）. Meanwhile， the direct medical cost associated with eldecalcitol treatment amounted to 38 805 yuan， which was lower than that of alfacalcidol （45 173 yuan） and calcitriol （45 821 yuan）. The results of the one-way sensitivity analysis showed that the risk ratio of hip fracture and vertebral fracture had a significant impact on the result. The probabilistic sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis showed the robustness of the findings from the base-case analysis. CONCLUSIONS Compared with alfacalcidol and calcitriol， eldecalcitol is likely to be a cost-effective treatment for postmenopausal osteoporotic women in China.
