dc.description.abstractA study into the evaluation of Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs) for drug formulary using an objective Scoring Analytical Tool (SAT) was conducted to assess and carry out rational selection of the ARBs to be included or omitted in the Malaysian Ministry of Health (MOH) Drug Formulary. Traditional MOH Drug Formulary usually conducts drug selection employing a small group of senior who are very experienced specialists to conduct this drug selection over a period of time. In contrast, the proposed SAT evaluated the drugs objectively according to criteria and relative weightage to match the relative importance of the sub-criteria. The allocation of scores made the method very objective and consistent. Much preparatory work was carried out to pre-set the criteria and sub-criteria to match the diseases concerned and to assign scores based on the relative importance. The main criteria under consideration were safety, quality, cost and efficacy. All these were converted to questionnaires format. Data and information were collected through self administered questionnaires that were distributed to pre-qualified medical doctors and specialists from the established government hospitals namely Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital, Kuala Lumpur Hospital, Selayang Hospital, Serdang Hospital, University Malaya Medical Centre and National Heart Institute. Statistical analysis of the data carried out showed certain ARBs order of preference trend of the participants which may be influenced by field of specialisation, whether local or overseas graduate and even gender.en_US
