description | Background: Marketing authorization holders (MAHs) are obligated to report adverse events (AEs) within 15 days (some cases 30 days) to the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) of Japan.
Methods: To analyze the timeliness of AE reporting to the PMDA, 6610 reports for five categories of cardiovascular devices were retrieved. Two durations were calculated: (1) time from the date the AE occurred to that when the MAH captured it (DOC: days); and (2) time from the date of MAH capture to that of MAH report (DCR: days). Number of DOC > 15 days (DOC15) and delayed reports (DCR > 15 or 30 days) were also calculated.
Results: AEs included 9.2% deaths and 7.5% non-recoveries. DOC15 and delayed reports were 51.0% and 10.9%, respectively. By multivariate analysis, DOC15 was associated with foreign AE, device category, MAH, patient outcome, event category, and AE that had to be reported within 15 or 30 days (AE15/30). Delayed report was associated with device category, MAH, patient outcome, event category, and AE15/30.
Comments: Although Japanese MAHs complied with the obligation to report AEs, they often failed to share AEs with healthcare providers. Registry may be a potential solution, although the cooperation of healthcare providers to input data is essential. |
