Incidence rate of severe adverse drug reactions to nonionic contrast media at the National Hospital Organization Osaka National Hospital

DiscussionAlthough the rate of severe adverse drug reactions in this study appears to be higher than expected, the sample size of 42,501 patients is insufficient to conclusively determine the incidence and mortality rates of adverse drug reactions, as these rates are extremely low. Further studies are required to estimate the countrywide prevalence of adverse drug reactions in response to contrast media.
