Research Advancement on The Economic Impact of Antimicrobial Resistance / 中国药学杂志

ABSTRACT

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become one of the largest concern globally, as well as the growing global health threat. By literature reviewing, this paper summarized and listed the studies in terms of economic impact of AMR both domestically and internationally, and introduced the research advancement on the economic impact of AMR from the perspective of estimating AMR burden in order to provide literature evidence for conducting AMR burden related research in China in the future. AMR increases the clinical burden through affecting the clinical endpoint, thus causes economic burden under different perspectives. Compared with studies conducted in other countries, China is lack of high-quality, multicenter and longitude studies with long time span. Since AMR will cause enormous economic and clinical burden, estimating the economic impact of AMR is a fundamental basis for rationally allocating medical resources.
