Trending and Emerging
- Adverse Drug Reactions Related to COVID-19 Vaccines:
Research related to the safety profiles and adverse effects of COVID-19 vaccines has gained significant prominence, highlighting the ongoing need for vigilance in vaccination programs. - Drug-Drug Interactions in Polypharmacy:
With the increasing prevalence of polypharmacy, there is a marked rise in studies addressing drug-drug interactions, especially in vulnerable populations such as the elderly. - Patient Engagement in ADR Reporting:
Emerging studies focus on enhancing patient engagement in reporting adverse drug reactions, utilizing novel approaches to improve pharmacovigilance practices. - Long-term Safety Monitoring of Biologics and Biosimilars:
There is a growing emphasis on the long-term safety and efficacy of biologic therapies and their biosimilars, particularly in chronic conditions like autoimmune diseases. - Real-World Evidence and Observational Studies:
The trend towards utilizing real-world evidence to assess drug safety and efficacy is increasing, reflecting a shift from controlled clinical trials to observational research that captures diverse patient experiences.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Pharmacology Studies:
There has been a noticeable decrease in the publication of traditional pharmacology studies that primarily focus on drug mechanisms without addressing safety or adverse effects. - General Drug Efficacy Studies:
Research solely centered on the efficacy of medications, without a clear link to safety outcomes or adverse drug reactions, has decreased, signaling a shift towards a more safety-centric approach. - Herbal and Alternative Medicine Studies:
While still relevant, the focus on the safety profiles of herbal and alternative medications appears to be waning, perhaps due to the increasing emphasis on evidence-based practices in conventional pharmacotherapy.
