The FDB Comparison Drug-Drug Interaction/Drug Pairs Report displays the changes to existing Drug-Drug Interactions included in the Incremental FDB updates. All Action Statuses are compared and are included in the report. The following data points are compared between the FDB update and the VA Drug-Drug Interaction records:
The DDI-DP FDB Comparison Report contains two types of spreadsheets:
The following DDI-specific fields are included in the DDI-DP FDB Comparison Report spreadsheet:
VA Interaction ID | A VA-assigned numerical identifier for the interaction. |
FDB Interaction ID | An FDB-assigned numerical identifier for the interaction. |
Interaction Description | A text description of the interaction. |
Monograph ID | A numerical identifier for the Professional Monograph associated with the interaction. |
Severity Level | A coded severity indicator. See Severity Level Codes for additonal information. |
Clinical Effect 1 | A three letter code describing the clinical effect. See Clinical Effect Codes for additional information. |
Clinical Effect 2 | A three letter code describing the clinical effect. See Clinical Effect Codes for additional information. |
Drug Pairs | If a DDI has drug pairs scheduled to be added ot deleted by
DATUP, there will be a message, "See FDB Interaction ID <fdb
interaction id number>-DP." If a DDI record in the incremental FDB update file does not have added or drug pairs, this column will remain blank. |
If the latest FDB update contains added or deleted drug pairs, these will be displayed on separate tabs titled "FDB Interaction ID <FDB Interaction ID number>-DP".
Each record consists of at least three lines and individual records are by a blank row (blue). There will be more than three lines if there are more than one VA Customization for the described interaction.
The following fields are included in the report
Action Status | The current state of the record based on the most recent action performed on the associated record. |
Action Date | The date the current action (Action Status) was performed. |
DATUP will delete | YES in this column Indicates the associated record will be deleted by DATUP. |
VA Interaction ID | A VA-assigned numerical identifier for the interaction. |
FDB Interaction ID | An FDB-assigned numerical identifier for the interaction. |
Interaction Description | A text description of the interaction. |
Monograph ID | A numerical identifier for the Professional Monograph associated with the interaction. |
Severity Level | A coded severity indicator. See Severity Level Codes for additonal information. |
Clinical Effect 1 | A three letter code describing the clinical effect. See Clinical Effect Codes for additional information. |
Clinical Effect 2 | A three letter code describing the clinical effect. See Clinical Effect Codes.. |
If the latest FDB update contains added or deleted drug pairs, these will be displayed on separate tabs titled "FDB Interaction ID <FDB Interaction ID number>-DP".
The following fields are included in the report
Routed Generic 1 Description | The Routed Generic Description of Drug 1 in the Drug Pair |
Routed Generic 2 Description | The Routed Generic Description of Drug 2 in the Drug Pair |
DATUP action | The action that DATUP will perform. Either DATUP will add the drug pair to the PECS database or delete it from PECS. |
Note: A DDI record that is not listed on the DDI-DT FDB Comparison Report spreadsheet can still have added or deleted drug pairs listed in the latest incremental FDB update file. In that case, the drug pair information is just be listed on an FDB Interaction ID-DP spreadsheet.
