Drugs Allergy and Risk Factors for Patients in Hospitals at Holy Karbala Province
Keywords:
N\AAbstract
This research explores the topic of drug allergy and its associated risk factors. Drug allergies represent a significant clinical concern, as they can lead to a wide range of adverse reactions, some of which may be severe or life-threatening. Understanding the underlying causes and identifying individuals at higher risk is crucial for improving patient safety and guiding healthcare professionals in prescribing medications more effectively.
This study investigates drug allergies and their associated risk factors among patients in the Holy Province of Karbala. It aims to determine the prevalence of drug allergies, identify the most common causative drugs and clinical symptoms and explore links with various risk factors such as medical and family history, lifestyle, and polypharmacy. The research also evaluates how drug allergies affect hospitalization rates, treatment decisions, and patient outcomes
