  • Poraba protimikrobnih zdravil v Splošni bolnišnici Izola v obdobju 1996-2000 = The usage of antimicrobial drugs at the Izola General hospital from 1996 to 2000
    Kariž, Stojan ; Kobal, Nataša, dr.med.
    The purpose of this survey was to determine the pattern and trend of antimicrobial usage at the Izola General Hospital from 1996 to 2000 and to evaluate the efficacy of antibiotic formulary ... restrictions, which were introduced at the beginning of 1999. A separate analysis of antimicrobial consumption at various hospital wards in 2000 was also performed. Drugs from the group J01 according to the ATC classification were included in the study. The results are expressed as the defined daily dose (DDD) per 100 bed days. The total consumption of antimicrobials increased from 37.8 to 42 DDD per 100 bed days (or, by 11.1%). Betalactams were the most commonly used antimicrobialagents (57.8%), followed by quinolones (13.9%), macrolide and pyranoside antibiotics (10.2%) and aminoglycosides (7.8%). The usage of quinolones increased by 65.2% during the observation period. Antibiotic formulary restriction resulted mainly in reduced utilization of third-generation cephalosporins by 37.2% and enhanced utilization of first- and second-generation cephalosporins. Surveillance of antimicrobial drug consumption and efforts to further promote judicious prescribing should be continued in the future.
