ABSTRACT

Os idosos constituem a parcela da população que mais cresce em todo o mundo. No Brasil, o envelhecimento populacional tem ocorrido de forma rápida e acentuada. Os pacientes acima de 60 anos chegam a somar 50% dos multiusuários do SUS. Com o objetivo de descrever e analisar os antibacterianos prescritos a pacientes idosos no âmbito hospitalar, foi realizado um estudo descritivo retrospectivo e transversal. Em um universo de 1.148 prescrições, 360 (31,36%) foram destinadas a pacientes idosos e 129 (11,24%) continham ao menos um antibacteriano, totalizando 188 antibacterianos prescritos a idosos (5,70% do total de medicamentos). As prescrições para pacientes idosos tiveram uma grande representatividade no HU/UFJF sendo os antibacterianos uma importante parcela dos medicamentos prescritos a esses pacientes.
