However, panic caused by the gradual onset of the pandemic had a considerable impact on the behavior of consumption and purchase of medication, and the question remains whether sustainable consumption still matters during a crisis or not. The present study aims to analyze whether the pandemic has influenced the behavior of medication use among residents of Brasov County amid panic caused by the virus and to determine the primary sources of information on methods of the prevention and treatment of health conditions. The study focusses on the differences between the two target groups, young people, and adults, considering three socio-demographic factors, such as age, gender, and background. The present research uses two methods of data collection: an interview with 5 doctors and a questionnaire with 543 respondents. This research draws attention to the fact that the behaviors of purchasing and consuming medication during the COVID-19 pandemic has changed due to the spreading of the new virus and the state of emergency, as well as with medication use becoming less sustainable. The results showed that adults were more engaged in the panic buying of medication compared to young people during the pandemic; however, in normal times, young people use more medication. Our study shows that females tend to consume more medicines than males. Moreover, they are more susceptible for seeking media guidance and following advice from the digital realm, because they avoid going to the doctor, especially during the COVID-19 period. Depending on the environment of residence, it was found that people in rural areas generally tend to consume more medication than those in urban areas. However, during the pandemic, the drug use of this category of population has decreased because they do not tend to self-medicate and avoid visiting the doctor because of the fear of becoming contaminated. The results of the research could help to establish measures in order to prevent the panic buying of self-medication and pharmaceuticals, both during pandemics and in normal times, because such behaviors can have negative effects on both health and the environment.}, keywords = {IMPACTS; Self-medication; Self-diagnosis; Medication use; COVID-19 pandemic; panic buying; pills use during the COVID-19 pandemic}, year = {2022}, eissn = {2071-1050} } @article{MTMT:33452587, title = {Adherence during COVID-19: The role of aging and socio-economics status in shaping drug utilization}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33452587}, author = {Di Novi, Cinzia and Leporatti, Lucia and Levaggi, Rosella and Montefiori, Marcello}, doi = {10.1016/j.jebo.2022.10.012}, journal-iso = {J ECON BEHAV ORGAN}, journal = {JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC BEHAVIOR & ORGANIZATION}, volume = {204}, unique-id = {33452587}, issn = {0167-2681}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1879-1751}, pages = {1-14}, orcid-numbers = {Leporatti, Lucia/0000-0003-4186-908X} } @article{MTMT:33058054, title = {Heterogeneous impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on lung, colorectal and breast cancer incidence in Hungary. results from time series and panel data models}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33058054}, author = {Elek, Péter and Csanádi, Marcell and Fadgyas-Freyler, Petra and Gervai, Nóra and Oross-Bécsi, Rita and Szécsényi-Nagy, Balázs and Tóth, Manna and Váradi, Balázs and Zemplényi, Antal Tamás}, doi = {10.1136/bmjopen-2022-061941}, journal-iso = {BMJ OPEN}, journal = {BMJ OPEN}, volume = {12}, unique-id = {33058054}, issn = {2044-6055}, abstract = {Objective During the COVID-19 pandemic, health system resources were reallocated to provide care for patients with COVID-19, limiting access for others. Patients themselves also constrained their visits to healthcare providers. In this study, we analysed the heterogeneous effects of the pandemic on the new diagnoses of lung, colorectal and breast cancer in Hungary. Design Time series and panel models of quarterly administrative data, disaggregated by gender, age group and district of residence. Participants Data for the whole population of Hungary between the first quarter of 2017 and the second quarter of 2021. Main outcome measures Number of patients newly diagnosed with lung, colorectal and breast cancer, defined as those who were hospitalised with the appropriate primary International Classification of Diseases Tenth Revision diagnosis code but had not had hospital encounters with such a code within the previous 5 years. Results The incidence of lung, colorectal and breast cancer decreased by 14.4% (95% CI 10.8% to 17.8%), 19.9% (95% CI 12.2% to 26.9%) and 15.5% (95% CI 2.5% to 27.0%), respectively, during the examined period of the pandemic, with different time patterns across cancer types. The incidence decreased more among people at least 65 years old than among the younger (p<0.05 for lung cancer and p<0.1 for colorectal cancer). At the district level, both the previously negative income gap in lung cancer incidence and the previously positive income gap in breast cancer incidence significantly narrowed during the pandemic (p<0.05). Conclusions The decline in new cancer diagnoses, caused by a combination of supply-side and demand-side factors, suggests that some cancer cases have remained hidden. It calls for action by policy makers to engage individuals with high risk of cancer more in accessing healthcare services, to diagnose the disease early and to prepare for effective management of patient pathways from diagnosis to survival or end-of-life care.}, keywords = {EPIDEMIOLOGY; Oncology; health care; egészségügyi ellátás; onkológia; epidemiológia; COVID-19; koronavírus; koronavírus-járvány; COVID-19 and cancer}, year = {2022}, eissn = {2044-6055}, orcid-numbers = {Elek, Péter/0000-0001-6196-0767; Csanádi, Marcell/0000-0002-5724-639X; Fadgyas-Freyler, Petra/0000-0002-0858-8924; Szécsényi-Nagy, Balázs/0000-0001-8016-8679; Tóth, Manna/0000-0002-4924-4183; Váradi, Balázs/0000-0002-3986-0097; Zemplényi, Antal Tamás/0000-0002-0177-0264} } @article{MTMT:33453389, title = {Psychotropic drug purchases during the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy and their relationship with mobility restrictions}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33453389}, author = {Marazzi, Francesca and Mortari, Andrea Piano and Belotti, Federico and Carra, Giuseppe and Cattuto, Ciro and Kopinska, Joanna and Paolotti, Daniela and Atella, Vincenzo}, doi = {10.1038/s41598-022-22085-4}, journal-iso = {SCI REP}, journal = {SCIENTIFIC REPORTS}, volume = {12}, unique-id = {33453389}, issn = {2045-2322}, abstract = {Recent literature on the mental health consequences of social distancing measures has found a substantial increase in self-reported sleep disorders, anxiety and depressive symptoms during lockdown periods.

However, the excess volumes do not match the massive increase in anxiety and depressive disorders found in survey-based studies. We also study the interplay between mobility, measured with anonymized mobile phone data, and mental health and report no significant effect of mobility restrictions on antidepressants and anxiolytics purchases during 2020. We provide three potential mechanisms that could drive the discrepancy between self-reported mental health surveys and psychotropic drugs prescription registries: (1) stockpiling practices in the early phases of the pandemic; (2) the adoption of compensatory behavior and (3) unexpressed and unmet needs due to both demand- and supply-side shortages in healthcare services.}, year = {2022}, eissn = {2045-2322}, orcid-numbers = {Carra, Giuseppe/0000-0002-6877-6169} } @book{MTMT:33808332, title = {Staying Strong, But For How Long?

The data used are secondary data from financial reports of Pharmaco between the period of the second quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2021. The financial performance of Pharmaco is measured from the statistical calculation of Current Ratio, Quick Ratio, Debt to Equity Ratio, Debt to Ratio, Total Asset Turnover, Inventory Turnover, Net Profit Margin, Return on Equity, and Price Earning Ratio. The result of the Normality Data Test shows that H0 is accepted and H1 is rejected, thus not normally distributed. Continued with the Wilcoxon Test with an average rank of not so much different. Statistic Test shows that the hypothesis is rejected and thus can be concluded that the financial performance of Pharmaco registered at Indonesian Stock Exchange are not significantly different. The changes in the financial ratios of Pharmaco due to the Covid-19 pandemic condition are noticeable in the increase in activity ratio and market ratio. This shows that Pharmaco is more productive in using its assets and the value of Pharmaco in the capital market is increased, so the number of investors interested to invest their capital is increased.Penelitian ini bertujuan melakukan analisis kinerja keuangan perusahaan farmasi Tbk yang terdaftar di BEI sebelum dan pada saat pandemi Covid-19.

The effectiveness of actions in this area is inextricably linked with the need to educate society on how to deal properly with unwanted medications. The aim of the study was to show that the inappropriate handling of unused/expired drugs by society is an important problem in waste management systems, and it impacts the state of the environment. Forty-eight scientific articles published between 2012 and 2021 were taken into account that discussed the systems in various countries for the collection of unused/expired pharmaceuticals. This literature review shows that the main method of disposing of unused/expired medications, according to respondents from different countries, is either by disposing of them in household waste or flushing them into the sewage system. This is also the case in countries with systems or programs for the return of redundant drugs, which indicates that these systems are not sufficiently effective.
