Abstract

The shortages of medicines is a problem of great importance in Spain and all over the world. This lack of supply has serious consequences on the health of the population as well as negative impacts on clinical systems. The objective of this research is to estimate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the supply of medicines as well as to analyze which medicines have presented the most shortage in the pharmacies during 2019. In this study, interrupted time series analysis is applied. This method allows the comparison of a time series between two different periods (pre COVID-19 and post COVID-19), so as to detect the possible changes in trends and levels between them.
