Studies in Latin America have disputed these claims.</p> <p style="font-size: 97%;">Objective:</p> </div> <div class="section" style="color: #000000; font-family: verdana,arial; font-size: 13.2px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> <p style="font-size: 97%;">To analyze the incidence and reports of adverse events associated with the use of dipyrone in a high complexity hospital.</p> <p style="font-size: 97%;">Materials and methods:</p> </div> <div class="section" style="color: #000000; font-family: verdana,arial; font-size: 13.2px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> <p style="font-size: 97%;">Descriptive observational study of an incident cohort. Population: Patients receiving dipyrone during their hospital stay. Quantitative analysis of incidents and description of dipyrone-associated adverse events.</p> <p style="font-size: 97%;">Results:</p> </div> <div class="section" style="color: #000000; font-family: verdana,arial; font-size: 13.2px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> <p style="font-size: 97%;">Incidence of global adverse events=0.3% (in 48,946 doses of dipyrone prescribed to 2747 patients). No cases of Agranulocytosis. A total 100% non-severe adverse events. (All were associated with toxidermia).</p> <p style="font-size: 97%;">Conclusion:</p> </div> <div class="section" style="color: #000000; font-family: verdana,arial; font-size: 13.2px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> <p style="font-size: 97%;">A low incidence of dipyrone-associated adverse events is reported. Optimal reporting of institutional adverse events is controversial, and the recommendation is to measure any adverse events with a more rigorous follow-up of patients using dipyrone, and a clear and specific standardization of the guidelines for improved prescription and medical control.</p> </div>}, number={2}, journal={Colombian Journal of Anesthesiology}, author={González-Cárdenas, Victor Hugo and Laverde-Gaona, Luis A. and Cabarique-Serrano, Sergio H. and Cháves-Rojas, Nataly and Reina-Sierra, Jorge A. and Infante, Juan S. and Quiroz-Díaz, Laura M. and Meneses, Victor D.}, year={2018}, month={Apr.}, pages={119–125} }
