Cost and effectiveness analysis on different schemes in the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia complicated with bacterial infection / 药学实践杂志

Objective To evaluate the cost and effectiveness for five combination therapy of β-lactam antibiotic with azithromycin in the treatment of mycoplasma pneumonia (MP) complicated with bacterial infection.Methods A retrospective study was conducted to compare the cost and effectiveness of the five regimens.Results The effective rates of group A, B, C, D and E were 97.29%, 100%, 96.55%, 95.65% and 97.36% respectively.The costs were (2 831.13±910.16) yuan,(2 816.31±127.11) yuan,(3 453.29±645.89) yuan,(4 382.42±1484.26) yuan,(3 703.39±124.86) yuan respectively.The cost-effectiveness ratios were (29.10±9.36), (28.16±5.24), (35.77±6.69), (38.04±7.90)and (35.26±10.10)respectively.Conclusion In terms of pharmacoeconomics, the combination of cefpiramide with azithromycin in group B has the lowest cost and cost-effectiveness ratio.This regimen is the most effective and economically favored combination.It is the treatment of first choice for pediatric MP patients complicated with bacterial infection.

Influence of Special Rectification on Antibiotics Application in Patients during Perioperative Period with Gynecologic Type ⅡIncision in Our Hospital / 中国药师

Objective:To explore the impact of special rectification on antibiotics application in the patients during perioperative period with gynecologic typeⅡincision in our hospital. Methods:The antibiotics type, use frequency, expense, administration time, dosage, treatment course and combined medication were retrospectively compared between April to September in 2011(before the recti-fication) and April to September in 2013 (after the rectification). Results: After the special rectification, the total DDDs was de-creased from 1 564. 5 to 419. 3, the expense for antibiotics and all drugs was respectively decreased from (297. 5 ± 47. 1) yuan to (108. 3 ± 29. 6) yuan and (806. 4 ± 63. 1)yuan to (498. 1 ± 70. 2) yuan, the proportion of antibiotics was decreased from (36. 9 ± 9.1) % to (21.7 ±6.8) %, and the treatment course was reduced from (3.7 ±1.4)d to (1.5 ±0.6)d(P<0.05). The rational rate of administration time, dosage and combined medication was respectively increased from 67. 7% to 98. 6%, 81. 5% to 100. 0%and 41. 1% to 80. 7%(P<0. 05). Conclusion:Special rectification can effectively improve the rational antibiotics use in gynecology department of our hospital during perioperative period of type Ⅱincision.
