The unsustainable success of spontaneous report
Once again this year the Italian Medicines Agency (AIFA) will publish the data of 2013 spontaneous reporting within the OsMed report, which will be presented during the summer. While waiting for this detailed report, let us analyse the situation on Focus Farmacovigilanza as we do every year.
Even if we exclude literature reports (which are almost 3,000), reports included in the National Network for Pharmacovigilance in 2013 were 41,000, equivalent to a rate of 685 reports per million of inhabitants.
