RESUMO
Background: 10million could die every year due to antibiotic resistant infections by 2050 unless the threat is addressed. Irrational use of antibiotic use is a global phenomenon. So, 50% all anti bionics are prescribed, sold are dispensed inappropriately, while 50% of patients are not taking antibiotics correctly (WHO 2004).Methods: This was a cross section study it was a conducted in RVS institute, tertiary care teaching hospital. Chittoor. The questionnaire was distributed along the faculty resident doctors and senior faculty of this RVS institute Where their knowledge, attitude, practice regarding antibiotic prescription and resistance was assessed by a five point likert scale, whose response ranged from strongly agree to disagree. Some questionnaire were of useful or nor useful and yes or no.Results: Irrational prescription of antibiotics is worldwide problem and also in India was known to most of the physicians in our institute (n=95%) of participants. 80% subjects answered that prescription writing influenced by senior faculty and medical representatives. 50% subjects answered that antimicrobial resistance is a problem in daily practice.80 % subjects answered that most of the antibiotics available as over the counter drugs (OTC).Conclusions: This study concludes, prescription writing influences by senior faculty and medical representatives. It’s important to monitor and auditing prescription writing based on WHO Antibiotic guidelines to prevent resistance. Strict vigilance of OTC sales of antibiotics to prevent resistance.
RESUMO
Objective To analyze the unreasonable prescription of the discharged drug and to propose the intervention measures to further improve the rationality of the prescription.Methods 18 506 pieces of hospital discharge prescriptions were collected,and the above prescriptions were commented by the prescription review working group.The classified items and their constituent ratios of irrational prescriptions for discharge were statistically analyzed.Results The irrational prescription of this study was 402 pieces,and the unreasonable prescription rate was 2.17%.Of which 321 pieces were not standardized prescriptions, accounting for 79.85%, 81 pieces for the inappropriate prescriptions, accounting for 20.15%.321 pieces of non-standard prescription, doctors do not regulate the signature and seal up 74 pieces, accounting for 23.05%,drug dosage, specification, number of errors69 pieces,21.50%,the third allergy test does not indicate53 pieces,accounting for 16.51%;81 pieces inappropriate medication prescription, usage of the drug, did not suitable for most,51 pieces,62.96%,followed by not suitable for combination 22 pieces, accounted for27.16%.Conclusion Through the prescription review, the discharge of drug irrational prescription analysis, and strengthen exchanges with clinical departments can promote the clinical rational drug use, improve the safety of clinical medication.
RESUMO
Objective To analyze the irrational prescriptions, improvement measures and improvement effect in our hospital in 2016. Methods 7200 outpatient and emergency prescriptions of our hospital in 2016 were randomly selected to study. 3600 prescriptions from January 2016 to June were selected as pre intervention group, and 3600 prescriptions from July 2016 to December were selected as post intervention group,First of all, the prescription of the pre intervention group was reviewed, according to the results of the review and literature review to determine the intervention measures. The types of prescription drugs, average amount of prescription, rate of antibiotic use and unreasonable prescription rate of two groups were observed. Results Types of prescription drugs(2.27 kinds vs. 1.93 kinds), average amount of prescription(171.74 yuan vs. 152.86 yuan), rate of antibiotic use(34.39% vs. 25.47%) and unreasonable prescription rate (9.36% vs. 2.14%)of post intervention group were significantly lower than those of pre intervention group(P<0.05). Conclusion The prescription comment and targeted intervention can reduce the incidence of irrational drug use and promote rational drug use in clinic, which has important clinical value.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the current situation of unreasonable prescriptions in outpatient and emergency depart-ments of our hospital,and to provide reference for rational drug use in the clinic. METHODS:The evaluation of outpatient and emergency prescriptions in our hospital during 2013-2015 were summarized and analyzed. Irrational prescriptions were divided into 3 categories,involving 19 items. The main,secondary and general factors of irrational prescriptions were analyzed by Pareto chart. RESULTS:Among 19 types of irrational prescriptions,main factors included unsuitable drug selection,inappropriate usage and dosage,inappropriate drug combination,prescribing not in accordance with the antibiotics management regulations,incomplete di-agnosis. No indications of medication,drug dosage beyond the regulations ofthree urgent seven slowwere treated as the second-ary factors. Other 12 items were general factors. CONCLUSIONS:According to the main and secondary irrational drug use types, clinical pharmacists should carry out effective intervention and pharmaceutical care to improve the level of rational drug use and en-sure the safety of clinical drug use.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the application of prescription comment software in our hospital. METHODS:552 pre-scriptions were evaluated by pharmacist A,B and software,and the Kappa values were calculated to evaluate the reliability of the software. The results of comment by pharmacist B and by software were combined (serial test and parallel test),and then com-pared with the results of comment by pharmacist A. The sensitivity,specificity and Youden's index were calculated to evaluate the reliability of the software. The comment results of 552 prescriptions by pharmacist A for twice were compared to calculate Kappa value,and it was used to evaluate the comment consistency of pharmacist A. RESULTS:The pharmacist A,B comment results and software comment results showed poor consistency,and Kappa value were 0.020 2 and 0.002 0,with significant difference (P<0.001);pharmacist A comment results had strongest consistency with pharmacist B comment results,and Kappa value was 0.843 0,with no significant difference(0.1
RESUMO
La OMS ha intensificado sus esfuerzos por promover y alcanzar un uso racional del medicamento para contribuir al bienestar del individuo y de la sociedad. El comité farmacoterapéutico es un foro para la mejora de la prestación de servicios de salud, es también un instrumento para fomentar un uso más eficaz y racional de los medicamentos. En Cuba se ha comprobado que existen problemas de uso irracional, lo que hace pensar que los comités farmacoterapéuticos no están funcionando según lo establecido. Objetivo: brindar una metodología a las instituciones de la Atención Primaria de Salud para el correcto funcionamiento del comité farmacoterapéutico. Método: se realizó una revisión exhaustiva de la literatura científica sobre los aspectos relacionados con cada apartado, se designó a un grupo multidisciplinario de profesionales expertos, procedentes de las áreas de Atención Primaria de Salud y Farmacoepidemiología con experiencia en el tema. El texto final estuvo sometido a comentarios y sugerencias, las recomendaciones fueron consensuadas por todo el grupo redactor. Resultados: se obtuvo un documento dirigido a los profesionales prescriptores y todos aquellos que realizan las tareas específicas de mejora de uso de medicamentos en las instituciones correspondientes a la Atención Primaria de Salud y a los gestores sanitarios que deben fomentarlas. La aplicación del mismo traerá como consecuencia beneficios médicos, económicos y sociales, una vez implantada la estrategia que estimulen e impulsen la actividad de dichos comité y así lograr un uso eficiente y racional de los medicamentos. Conclusiones: la metodología aportada por este documento hará que los CFT funcionen como foros de discusión para un uso adecuado, racional y seguro de los medicamentos...
The World Health Organization (WHO) has intensified its efforts to promote and achieve a rational use of medications to contribute to the individual and social welfare. The Pharmacotherapy Committee is a forum for improving health care services and is also considered an instrument to foster a more efficient and rational use of medication. In Cuba, it has been proven that there is an irrational use of medications, what makes us think that the Pharmacotherapy Committees are not functioning in accordance with the established. Objective: to provide a methodology to Primary Health Care institutions for the correct operation of the Pharmacotherapy Committee. Method: we conducted a detailed review of the scientific literature about the aspects related to each section and designed a multidisciplinary group of professional experts from Primary Health Care areas and Pharmacoepidemiology with experience on the topic. The final text was submitted to comments and suggestions and the recommendations were agreed by the consensus among the whole editor group. Results: we obtained a document which was directed to all professional prescribers and those that perform specific tasks for the improvement of the use of medications in Primary Health Care institutions as well as the sanitary managers that should encourage them. The application of this document will result in medical, economic and social benefits once the strategy has been implemented. These benefits should stimulate and promote the activities of such committees to achieve an efficient and rational use of medications. Conclusions: the methodology provided by this document will make the Pharmacotherapy Committees function as discussion forums for a safe, rational and adequate use of medications...
