Title: Clinical Application of Antibiotics in Tianmen Municipal First People's Hospital
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To analyze the use of antibiotics in the patients of our hospital to provide references for clinical rational use of antibiotics.METHODS: 4 216 outpatient prescriptions and 420 medical records in the first half year of 2011 were sampled randomly for statistical analysis of the antibiotic use.RESULTS: The rate of antibiotic use in outpatients was 34.1%(1 437/4 216);in the inpatients,the rate of antibiotic use was 70.0%(294/420),with the rate of rational drug use of 68.1%(286/420) and the rate of specimen test of 53.3%(224/420).The antibiotics ranked among the last 5 places in respect of DDC were sparfloxacin,erythromycin,gatifloxacin,clarithromycin and ampicillin/probenecid,with all administered orally.The top five antibiotics in terms of DDDs for inpatients were cefoperazone/sulbactam,cefalotin,mezlocillin,cephazolin and cefuroxime.The top 4 antibiotics ranked by DUI in descending order were ceftezole clindamycin mezlocillin levofloxacin1.The total antibiotic use density which stood at 53.3 DDD was significantly higher than the specified value of 40 DDD.CONCLUSION: The use of antibiotics in our hospital was basically rational yet far from perfect,thus it is urgent to tighten monitoring the use of antibiotics to promote clinical rational use antibiotics.
