OBJECTIVE To analyze the situation and causes of the shortage of drugs in centralized volume-based procurement, and to put forward countermeasures and suggestions for optimizing centralized procurement rules and improving the drug shortage supply guarantee system. METHODS The shortage data of the first five batches of centralized purchasing drugs during January 2019 and December 2021 were collected from the Shortage Database of Chinese medicine economic information; descriptive statistical analysis was performed for shortage frequency, varieties and reasons. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS After the first five batches of centralized volumetric procurement policy landed, the frequency of drug shortage reported for selected specifications and selected enterprises increased significantly, mainly drug shortage of selected enterprises. The shortage of some varieties from selected enterprises in the short term was obvious, and most of them were commonly used clinical drugs. The occurrence of drug shortages was affected by various links such as the production, circulation and use, and the main reasons were shortage or monopoly of raw materials. In order to ensure the drugs supply, the government should scientifically assess the risk of production interruption of enterprises, further optimize centralized procurement rules, improve the reporting system for drug shortages, and attach importance to the supply of key drugs; in addition, hospitals should take a variety of measures within the scopes of policies to flexibly respond to drug shortages so as to avoid delaying the treatment of patients.

OBJECTIVE To explore the impact of the adjustment of the national reimbursement drug list on rare disease drugs in hospitals, and to provide reference for improving the drug security of patients with rare diseases in China.METHODS The monthly procurement data of rare disease drugs from 789 medical institutions that continuously reported data from January 2016 to December 2018 were extracted from the Chinese Medicine Economic Information. The single-group interrupted time series model was used to compare drug varieties, procurement amount, average defined daily cost (DDDc) and defined daily doses (DDDs) of rare disease drugs before and after the adjustment of national reimbursement drug list. RESULTS In 2017, a total of 9 rare disease drugs were newly included in the national reimbursement drug list, including pirfenidone, carbidopa/levodopa, riluzole, ropinirole, droxidopa, ezetimibe, everolimus, coagulation factor Ⅸ human recombinant and coagulation factor Ⅶa human recombinant. After the adjustment of the national reimbursement drug list, the average DDDc of 9 rare disease drugs was significantly decreased, the upward trend of DDDs and the procurement amount was significantly increased (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS The number of newly included rare disease drugs in national reimbursement drug list keeps increasing, the coverage of medical security keeps expanding, the price of rare disease drugs is significantly decreased, the economic burden of patients is further decreased, and the consumption of rare disease drugs is significantly increased, benefiting more patients with rare diseases; but at the same time, it also increases the procurement amount of rare disease drugs in hospitals. National medical security departments need to fully consider how to balance the affordability of medical insurance funds with the demand for rare disease drug coverage.

OBJECTIVE:To know about the implementation and existing problems of current Reasonable Medicine List for Mil-itary(Medicine List for short)(2014 edition). METHODS:The data of field investigation were summarized and analyzed. Compar-ative analysis was made to the data of medicines used by military patients and local insured patients in the general hospitals,hospi-tals affiliated to the military medical university,central hospitals,authorities'clinics and cadre's sanitariums'clinics (a total of 20)of 4 military regions in Nanjing,Lanzhou,Chengdu and Shenyang before and after the modification of the Medicine List. RE-SULTS & CONCLUSIONS:After the modification of the Medicine List,all the above-mentioned medical institutions of the 4 mili-tary regions used more varieties of medicines as set forth in the Medicine List,where there was the highest average increase up to 12.2% in the varieties of the medicines used by central hospitals,and the lowest average increase of 4.8% in those by general hos-pitals. Central hospitals used the largest number of varieties of medicines as set forth in the Medicine List,accounting for 83.3% of all varieties in the Medicine List on average;followed by hospitals affiliated to the military medical university,accounting for 80.6% on average;and the cadre's sanitariums'clinics used a smaller number of varieties thereof,only accounting for 63.9%. For military inpatients and outpatients,the medicine expense per capita increased by 15.0% and 18.0% respectively,which was differ-ent from that for local insured patients in the same period. It is suggested that the implementation of the Medicine List should be monitored and evaluated on a regular basis pursuant to the survey,to provide a reference for future adjustment of the Medicine List.
