Data on antibiotic consumption were reported monthly as days of therapy per 1000 patient-days and monthly costs (USD/1000 patient-days). A total of 2367 patients who received one or more of the targeted antibiotics (meropenem, colistin and tigecycline) during their hospital stay were included in...
The misuse and overtreatment of antibiotics in hospitalized patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) can cause multi-drug resistance and worsen clinical outcomes. We aimed to analyze the trends and appropriateness of antibiotic changes in hospita
From boon molecules to molecules contributing to rising concern has been the sojourn of antibiotics. The problem of antibiotic contamination has gotten worse due to antibiotics’ pervasive use in every aspect of the environment. One such consequence of pollution is the increase in infections with anti...
Although the emergence of resistant strains of staphylococci was widely attributed to the misuse of antibiotics, this thesis contends that the Health Department was reluctant to impose restrictions on medical prescribing and that Health Department official and senior clinicians chose instead to modify ...
Reassessing the continuing need for and choice of antibiotics by using an antibiotic “time out’’ program may reduce unnecessary treatment. This study aimed to explore the effect of an antibiotic stewardship program (ASP) on the antibiotics consumption, incidence of resistant bacterial infections and...
Prescribing of ampicillin/amoxicillin increased following guideline publication, but remains low. Cephalosporin and macrolide prescribing decreased but remains common. Further studies exploring outcomes of and reasons for compliance with guidelines are warranted.关键词: community-acquired pneumonia antibiotics ...
Poverty increases the risk of contracting infectious diseases and therefore exposure to antibiotics. Yet there is lacking evidence on the relationship between income and non-income dimensions of poverty and antimicrobial resistance. Investigating such relationship would strengthen antimicrobial stewardship interve...
One perspective on the impact of technology is that it has greatly improved our lives. Advances in medical technology, for example, have led to longer life expectancies and improved quality of life for many people. The development of vaccines, antibiotics, and other medical treatments has helped ...
[113–115]. In contrast, inappropriate prescription of antibiotics for seasonal influenza is greater for women [114]. A meta-analysis of data from randomized, double-blind clinical trials illustrates that, following treatment with oseltamivir, men return to their baseline wellness faster than women,...
