Journal Title: Moldovan Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 60, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Antibiotics have had a profound impact on humanity’s health, by improving our ability to prevent, cure and reduce the transmission of many infectious diseases. It is widely known, that the unnecessary or inappropriate use of antibiotics, occurs up to 50% of prescriptions only in the United States and Canada. Fortunately all negative impact on the human health can be roughly imagined. Material and methods: For this study we used the data of a six-year (2009-2014) period in the Emergency Medicine Institute and their main subdivisions which show the consumption dynamics of antibacterials use in natural indexes. Results: The total annual medium consumption of antimicrobials was registered as the following: ICD 1796.98 DDD/1000, SSOTD 566.12 DDD/1000 and EMI 584.05DDD/1000, with the parenteral to enteral forms share of respectively 94.67% to 5.33%, 85.62% to 14.38% and 83.52% to 16.48%. Five from nine main groups: beta-lactam antibacterials, penicilins, other beta-lactam, aminoglycoside, other antibacterials and quinolone antibacterials registered around 90% of all antibiotics consumption. Comparatively to Australian hospitals and hospitals other worldwide countries in EMI consumption per DDD/1000 was lower: by 3.39 and 2.22 times for tetracyclines, by 5.1 and 4.63 for beta-lactam and penicilins, as well as by 2.55 and 1.63 for macrolides and lincosamides. Conclusions: The obtained data about the dynamics of antibacterials consumption in EMI and their main departments, in comparison with hospitals from other worldwide countries, represents important arguments and reserves for improving quality treatment, planning, rational prescription and utilization of antibiotics in hospitals.
