在大多数情况下，药物信息中心（DIC）是药房服务的一部分，作为一个单位，负责向公众，患者和医疗保健专业人员提供有关药物的最新，平衡，真实的事实。 评估埃塞俄比亚主要大学附属教学卫生保健机构药物信息中心（DIC）的查询接收和响应趋势。 药物信息中心位于埃塞俄比亚Mekelle、Gondar、Jimma、Tikur Anbessa专科大学医院和圣彼得公立医院。 它采用了分析，描述性（横断面）和回顾性方法。本研究于2015年6月至8月进行。所有可用的记录数据都是在检查表和问卷（自填）的帮助下收集的。 本研究共纳入了在其服役期间提交给DIC的439项质询，其中407项被认为适合进行本评估。最高的查询来自公立医院（60%），来自卫生保健工作者（95.1%），其中药剂师是最高的提交者（63.57%），其次是卫生保健学生（12.7%）。提交质询的主要目的是改善患者的治疗结局（33.9%）然后更新知识（25.1%），尽管39.3%的查询没有记录。最常见的请求涉及药物相互作用其次是治疗用药（17.8%），主要药物类别是抗菌药物（23.3%），其次是抗高血压药（11.4%）。网站（31.4%）是使用最多的参考，其次是Micromedex（19.0%）。 对发展信息中心的评估表明，在埃塞俄比亚这样的发展中国家建立和发展发展信息中心服务是可行的。研究发现，大多数常见查询涉及药物相互作用、治疗用途和一般产品信息（最常见的是关于抗菌剂）。
Drug information center (DIC), in most cases, is part and parcel of pharmacy service established as a unit that deals with offering recent, balanced, truthful facts about drugs to the public, patients, and health care professionals. To assess the query receiving and response trends by the drug information centers (DICs) found in main university affiliated teaching health care institutes in Ethiopia. The drug information centers located in Mekelle, Gondar, Jimma, Tikur Anbessa Specialized University Hospitals, and St. Peter Public Hospital, Ethiopia. It employed analytical, descriptive (cross-sectional), and retrospective methods. The study was performed from June to August, 2015. All the available documented data were gathered with the help of checklist and questionnaire (self-administered). A total of 439 queries submitted to the DICs during their active service period were included in this study of which 407 were found to be suitable for this assessment. The highest inquiries had come from public hospitals (60 %) from health care workers (95.1 %), out of which pharmacists were the highest (63.57 %) submitters, followed by health care students (12.7 %). The major purposes of query submission were to improve treatment outcome of patients (33.9 %) and then to update the knowledge (25.1 %) although 39.3 % of the queries did not document it. The most common requests concern drug interaction (19.7 %) followed by therapeutic use (17.8 %) and the major pharmacological group is about antimicrobials (23.3 %) followed by antihypertensives (11.4 %). Web sites (31.4 %) were the most highly used references followed by Micromedex (19.0 %). The assessment of the DICs had shown that it is feasible to establish and develop DIC services in a developing country setting, Ethiopia. The study found that most of the common queries deal with drug interaction, therapeutic use, and general product information (most commonly about antimicrobials).
