Abstract: Objective To establish a comprehensive system for evaluating the quality of adverse drug reaction (ADR) reports and provide reference for objective evaluation of quality of ADR reports in an oncology department. Methods Quality evaluation standards for ADR reports were established according to the related scoring standards and documents. A combination of weighted Topsis and rank sum ratio (RSR) was used to evaluate and classify the quality of 120 original ADR reports submitted to the Department of Pharmacy by the Department of Oncology at Bozhou People’s Hospital in 2021. Results Twenty reports were of medium quality (Ci>0.570 0), 75 reports were up to the standard (0.360 0<Ci≤0.570 0) and 25 reports fell short of the standard (Ci≤0.360 0). The main problems included inadequate descriptions of processes of ADRs, incorrect or incomplete drug information. Conclusion Quality evaluation of ADR reports based on the weighted Topsis–RSR method can help avoid the limitations of a single approach. This method is feasible and effective. The results of evaluation suggest that the quality of ADR reports by the Department of Oncology at our hospital needs to be improved.
