Methods A survey of 240 respondents was done and the performance of EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L was assessed according to the inconsistency and redistribution properties at all levels. The discriminatory power and sensitivity of EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L were explored according to Shannon index (H’), Shannon evenness index (J’) and ceiling effect. And the reliability and validity of EQ-5D- 3L and EQ-5D-5L were analyzed according to Cronbach’α and criterion validity. Results and Conclusion The average inconsistent rate and size of EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L were 2.33% and 1.04, respectively. Compared with EQ-5D-3L, the state of health of EQ- 5D-5L dropped from 74.17% to 65.42%, and the ceiling effect decreased as well. The Shannon indexes of all dimensions of EQ- 5D-5L were better than EQ-5D-3L. Except for pain/discomfort, the Shannon evenness indexes of EQ-5D-5L were also better than EQ-5D-3L. The Cronbach’α of EQ-5D-5L increased from 0.514 to 0.707. Except for self-care, the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient between EQ-5D-5L and EQ-VAS also increased. Therefore, EQ-5D-5L gains more advantages than EQ-5D-3L and should be promoted. Related Articles | Metrics

Investigation on the Current Situation of China’s DTP Pharmacy and Suggestions for Its Development Wen Dong, Dou Lele, Sun Yuyuan, Wang Shuling Asian Journal of Social Pharmacy    2023, 18 (2): 165-176.   Abstract （349）      PDF（pc） （1965KB）（391）       Knowledge map    Objective To summarize the main characteristics and development approaches of direct-to-patient (DTP) pharmacies, and to explore its future development trend. Methods Firstly, relevant policies of DTP pharmacies were sorted out based on some documents on the government website, and related articles were studied. Secondly, 499 DTP pharmacies were investigated. Finally, the current status of the industry was summarized and analyzed. Results and Conclusion Policies on China’s DTP pharmacy have been constantly improved. According to industry standards, the current compliance rate of DTP pharmacies is about 46.09%. In terms of varieties, the market share concentration rate of biological products is higher than that of chemical drugs. The regional distribution of these drugs is mainly concentrated in the central and eastern provinces. However, 63.45% of DTP pharmacies have less than 50 product specifications. DTP pharmacies have an average of 7.3 pharmacy technicians and 2.3 licensed pharmacists, which is higher than that of ordinary pharmacies. Due to the policy promotion, DTP pharmacies will be paid more attention by the public and the government, and the market share will become larger than before. Patients shifting from hospitals to drug-to-pharmacies can make them better layout. Besides, pharmaceutical services will become more specialized, and disease division will be more detailed. With the deepening of medical reform and the continuous improvement of national medical security as well as drug procurement and medical insurance payment methods, DTP pharmacies can play an important role in the national basic medical security system.

Cause Analysis and Preventive Measures of Drug Shortage Zhou Ziyang, Ma Jia, Liu Fuyao, Liu Yuhan, Sun Lihua Asian Journal of Social Pharmacy    2022, 17 (2): 120-131.   Abstract （313）      PDF（pc） （1810KB）（315）       Knowledge map    Objective To study the current situation and the root cause of drug shortage in China, and put forward countermeasures and suggestions accordingly for relevant national policy decisions. Methods Based on literature research, questionnaire survey and expert consultation, the causes of drug shortage in China were comprehensively investigated, and fishbone diagram was used to further analyze the logical relationship among the causes. Results and Conclusion The main reasons for the shortage of drugs are the low profit of production enterprises and insufficient active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The other reasons include uncertain demand, standard problem and few exclusive manufacturers. Besides, the monopoly of circulation enterprises also leads to the shortage of drugs to a certain extent. It is suggested that we should increase the punishment of monopoly, optimize the market environment, and establish a reasonable drug price mechanism. In addition, enterprises should participate in the information communication platform of medical institutions to solve the asymmetry between supply and demand. The research on clinical drugs to substitute drugs in need should be strengthened, and the reporting system of drug discontinuation should be improved. Related Articles | Metrics
