Objective To evaluate the effect of clinical pharmacists participating in the treatment of hospitalized patients with diabetic foot by antibiotics management index and health economics index. Methods 40 hospitalized patients with diabetic foot of Wagner Grade 4 in the Endocrine Department of Air Force Medical Center from April to September 2017 were selected as control group, and 40 hospitalized patients with diabetic foot of Wagner Grade 4 in the Endocrine Department from April to September 2019 were selected as interventional group. No clinical pharmacists were involved in drug treatment of patients in the control group, while the clinical pharmacists in the interventional group participated in drug treatment, and implemented antimicrobial stewardship, medication reconciliation, pharmaceutical care and medication education. Antibiotics management indexes (use intensity of antibiotics, use rate of special class antibiotics) and health economics indexes (medicine expenses, hospitalization expenses) of the two groups were compared. Results The efficacy of the two groups was similar. The use intensity of antibiotics and use rate of special class antibiotics of the interventional group in which clinical pharmacists participated were significantly lower than the control group (P<0.01), so were the medicine expenses and hospitalization expenses (P<0.01). Conclusion Clinical pharmacists participating in the treatment of hospitalized patients with diabetic foot could reduce antibiotics administration index and health economics index, promote rational medicine use and save medical expenses.
