Objectives This study aimed to provide a basis for the research on the trend and safety of Korean herbal medicines among children and adolescents.
Methods Patients aged <19 years who received outpatient treatment at the Korean pediatrics department of Kyung Hee University Hospital from January 1, 2017 to October 31, 2022 were included. The current state of annual visits and herbal medicine prescriptions was analyzed. A retrospective chart review was conducted by examining the medical records of subjects who received herbal medicines, including deer antler. Adverse drug reactions in patients who received herbal medicine were also investigated.
Results A total of 57,457 people visited the Korean pediatrics department, and 51,768 people (90.1%) were prescribed herbal medicine. Among these, 21,826 patients (42.2%) were prescribed with deer antler. A total of 117 adverse drug reactions were reported among the patients who received herbal medicines.
Conclusions This study aimed to determine the trends and safety of herbal medicine treatment, particularly deer antlers, in
children and adolescents. Well-designed, long-term, multi-institutional follow-up studies are required to expand the field of Korean pediatrics
