ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To analyze the implementation of insulin centralized volume-based procurement policy （hereinafter referred to as “centralized procurement”） in our hospital and its effect on the use of insulin products in clinical. METHODS The manufacturer， specifications， usage， sales amount and agreed purchase volume of insulin products in our hospital before （July 4， 2021 to January 3， 2022） and after （July 4， 2022 to January 3， 2023） the centralized procurement were collected. The defined daily dose （DDD） method was used to calculate defined daily doses （DDDs）， defined daily cost （DDC）， the progress of procurement completion and actual cost saving. RESULTS After the centralized procurement， the number of insulin products had increased from 20 to 29 in our hospital； except for the Insulin degludec/aspart injection in our hospital’s original insulin catalog that had not been centrally purchased， all other existing varieties had been included in centralized procurement catalog. The use of Insulin aspart 30 injection produced by Novo Nordisk （China） Pharmaceutical Co.， Ltd. always ranked the first place in the list of usage and DDDs before and after the centralized procurement. The sales amount of Insulin glargine injection produced by Ganli Pharmaceutical Co.， Ltd. and Tonghua Dongbao Pharmaceutical Co.， Ltd. increased significantly due to the significant increase in usage. The centralized procurement of Degu insulin injection from Novo Nordisk （China） Pharmaceutical Co.， Ltd. had achieved a relatively high completion rate in our hospital’s original insulin catalog， while the completion rate for new varieties was low. After the centralized procurement， our hospital actually saved a total of 1 388 582.66 yuan in expenses. CONCLUSIONS After the centralized procurement， the selection and usage of insulin varieties in our hospital are reasonable， which saves patients’ insulin treatment costs， and reduces economic pressure on patients and society.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the correlation between the resistance rates of Escherichia coli,Enter-obacter cloacae,Klebsiella pneumoniae and the antibiotic usage,so as to guide clinical reasonable use of anti-bacterials.Methods Resistance rates of Escherichia coli,Enterobacter cloacae,Klebsiella pneumoniae were summarized by Whonet5.6 software,and the antibacterial agent consumption which were calculated by using defined daily doses(DDD)were summarized by Pharmaceutical Department during 2014,then their correlation were analyzed.Results Klebsiella pneumoniae and Enterobacter cloacae showed their resistance positively correlated with the consumption of carbapenem(P<0.05).Conclusion As resistance rates of Klebsiella pneu-moniae and Enterobacter cloacae are relative to the use of antibacterials in some degree,antibacterials should be reasonably chosen so as to reduce occurrence of drug resistant strains.
ABSTRACT
La vigilancia del consumo de antimicrobianos es parte central en los programas de utilización de antimicrobianos. Sin embargo, en Chile no se conocen datos del consumo de antibacterianos por servicios clínicos, que representen un número importante de hospitales. En el año 2013 se envió una encuesta a múltiples hospitales chilenos para evaluar el consumo de antimicrobianos en los servicios clínicos de Medicina (SM), Cirugía (SC) y Unidades de Pacientes Críticos (UPC). Para ello se usó la metodología estandarizada recomendada por la OMS de DDD/100 días camas. En los SM y SC se evaluaron antibacterianos β-lactámicos y no β-lactámicos de uso frecuente. En las UPC se evaluó el consumo de vancomicina, linezolid, imipenem, meropenem, colistín y tigeciclina. Se obtuvo resultados de 15 hospitales, los cuales informaron la densidad de consumo de antimicrobianos de los servicios mencionados. Ceftriaxona y cloxacilina fueron los antimicrobianos más utilizados en servicios generales (promedio cloxacilina 4,9 DDD/100 días cama en SM y 8,0 DDD/100 en SC; ceftriaxona 13,5 DDD/100 en SM y 16,7 DDD/100 en SC). En los SC se agrega además un consumo importante de metronidazol (promedio 14,5 DDD/100 días cama). En las UPC destaca la variabilidad de consumo de antimicrobianos seleccionados. Este estudio reporta el promedio y rangos de consumo de antibacterianos en SM, SC y UPC de un número importante de hospitales del país durante el año 2013. Esta información permite a los hospitales comparar su consumo de antibacterianos con una muestra significativa de hospitales chilenos. El análisis de esta información debe considerar una cuidadosa interpretación de acuerdo a la muestra aquí representada y la realidad de cada uno de los hospitales.
Surveillance of antimicrobial consumption is a central part in programs of antibiotic stewardship. However, in Chile there are no national data on antibiotic consumption representing a significant number of hospitals by clinical services. In 2013 a survey was sent to multiple Chilean hospitals to evaluate antimicrobial consumption in medical services (MS), surgery services (SS) and critical care units (ICU). We used the standardized methodology recommended by the WHO, using the number of DDD/100 days beds. In the MS and SS beta-lactam and no beta-lactam antibiotics commonly used were evaluated. In the ICU consumption vancomycin, linezolid, imipenem, merope-nem, colistin and tigecycline was evaluated. Fifteen hospitals reported the density of antimicrobial consumption. Ceftriaxone and cloxacillin were the most commonly used antibiotics in general services (average cloxacillin 4,9 DDD/100 bed days in MS and 8,0 DDD/100 in SS; ceftriaxone 13,5 DDD/100 in MS and 16,7 DDD/100 in SS). In the SS there was also a significant consumption of metronidazole (average 14,5 DDD/100 bed days). In the ICU there was an important variability of consumption of selected antibiotics. This study reports the average and range of antibiotic consumption in MS, SS, and ICU from a significant number of hospitals in the country, during 2013. This information allows hospitals to compare their consumption of antibiotics with a significant sample of Chilean hospitals. Analysis of this information should consider a careful interpretation according to the sample shown here and the reality of each hospital.

To analyze clinical usage of traditional Chinese medicine ( TCM ) injections in a hospital , to evaluate the rationality and economy, so as to promote drug rational use. Methods: Based on the quantity of issue drugs in computer information management system, using the amount of sorting method and the dosage frequency analysis method, according the defined daily doses (DDDs) of the drug to calculate DDDs and the average daily cost(DDC) , sort the total amount of drug usage and DDDs then seek their ratio. Results:Medicine of the cardiovascular system and the antitumor system is rising in a hospital from 2011 to 2013. Amount structure of cardiovascular system drugs is always beyond 60%, and total usage amount of TCM injections remained as top 3. Individual TCM injections sort ratio exceeds the specified range. Conclusion:In overall, the clinical TCM injections use synchronism better, which is basic rational in a hospital, the clinical departments could choose the drug of appropriate price according to actual condition.

ABSTRACT
Introducción. Se evalúa la tendencia de consumo, precio promedio ponderado (PPP) y costo total, así como la influencia del consumo y PPP sobre los costos totales, en los subgrupos de medicamentos (dosis diaria definida/100 días-cama) antibacterianos, antimicóticos, antimicobacterianos y antivirales de 2005 a 2007. Métodos. De la base de datos de la farmacia del hospital, se calcularon, para cada medicamento, su consumo, PPP y costo total de los cuatro subgrupos terapéuticos. El análisis estadístico fue regresión lineal múltiple y coeficiente de correlación de Spearman. Resultados. El subgrupo con mayor consumo y costo fue el de antibacterianos, y el de mayor precio ponderado el de los antivirales. Se identificó que el consumo y los precios ponderados influyeron significativamente en los costos totales. El cambio por cada unidad de consumo y de precio ponderado produjo un incremento de $190,893.8 USD (IC95% 118,196.1-263,591.6) y de $3,050.4 USD (IC95% 1,912.5-4,188.3), respectivamente. Conclusiones. El aumento porcentual progresivo del costo de los antiinfecciosos en comparación con el total de grupos terapéuticos del hospital fue consecuencia del consumo y de los PPP. El análisis estadístico empleado y el uso de las variaciones porcentuales permitieron identificar, por subgrupos terapéuticos, el efecto que los consumos y los PPP tienen sobre los costos totales. El análisis individual de los medicamentos de alto costo también permitió interpretar algunos comportamientos; por lo que se recomienda efectuar este tipo de evaluaciones para identificar las diversas variables que influyen en los costos.
Background. We undertook this study to evaluate the tendency of the consumption (defined as daily doses/100 bed-days), the weighted average price (WAP) and the total cost of antibacterials, antimycotics, antimycobacterials and antiviral subgroups from 2005 to 2007, as well as the influence of the consumption and the WAP on the total costs. Methods. We used the database of the hospital pharmacy in order to calculate consumption, WAP and total cost of each drug for therapeutic subgroups. Multiple linear regression and Spearman correlation coefficient were used for statistical analyses. Results. The antibacterial subgroup showed the highest consumption and the total cost. The antiviral subgroup showed the highest WAP. Consumption and WAP had a significant influence on the total costs. The change by each unit of consumption and WAP produced an increase of 190,893.8 USD (95% CI 118,196.1-263,591.6) and 3,050.4 USD (95% CI 1,912.5-4,188.3), respectively. Conclusion. The progressive percentage increase of the total cost of anti-infective drugs in comparison with the total cost of hospital's therapeutic subgroups was due to the consumption and WAP. Statistical analysis and percentage of variations can identify the effect of consumption and WAP on total costs according to therapeutic subgroups. The analysis of high-cost drugs allows interpretation of some behaviors. Therefore, it is recommended to carry out these types of evaluations so as to identify the different variables that can influence costs.
