AbstractTo analyze the clinical drug use characteristics of Shenxiong glucose injection in the treatment of ischemic cerebrovascular disease. From hospital information system (HIS) of 19 hospitals over China, the basic information of patients with Shenxiong glucose injection for ischemic cerebrovascular disease, traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine diagnosis information, order information, and laboratory examination information were extracted. Then Apriori algorithm was used to construct the model, and the association analysis was performed by using Clementine 12 to analyze the clinical drug use characteristics of Shenxiong glucose injection in the real world. A total of 411 kinds of Western medicines and 110 kinds of traditional Chinese medicines were included in 784 cases of drug combination. In the drug combination, aspirin had the highest frequency in Western medicine, which was used in 515 cases (65.69%); Ginkgo biloba extract had the highest frequency in Chinese medicine, which was used in 121 cases (15.43%). Atorvastatin+aspirin (association rules of 10.15%) was the most common Western medicine pairs; atorvastatin+clopidogrel+aspirin (association support 5.56%) was the most common triple Western medicine therapy, often combined with antibiotics and blood stasis drugs in use. Results showed that Shenxiong glucose injection was often combined with antiplatelet drugs and blood stasis drugs in the treatment of ischemic cerebrovascular disease clinically, contributing to the enhancement of platelet aggregation and blood stasis. The incompatibility of combined application of drugs shall be noted to ensure the clinical medication safety and efficacy of the combined drug use.Copyright© by the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association.
