Abstract

Background: Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) constitute a significant cause of patient morbidity, prolonged hospitalization, increased healthcare costs, and, in severe cases, mortality. Active pharmacovigilance is essential to characterize the spectrum, severity, causality, preventability, and  clinical impact of ADRs in real-world hospital settings
