Correlation between the Consumption of Antibacterial Drugs and the Bacterial Resistant in 70 Hospitals in Shanxi Province / 中国药房

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the relationship between the variation of bacterial-resistant and the consumption of antibacterial drugs. METHODS:The DDDs and its sequence of antibacterial drugs in 70 hospitals in Shanxi province over 3 years and the synchronic annual resistant rates of some pathogenic bacteria were analyzed statistically and the correlation between the variation of bacterial-resistant and the drug consumption was analyzed. RESULTS:In terms of variety,there was no obvious change for the top twenty antibacterial drugs. The antibacterial drugs with high DDDs thus ranked the lead were those kinds that with high bacterial drug resistance. At a value of over 50%,the bacterial drug resistance rate would not decrease obviously with the variation of the drug consumption. The drug resistance rate increased greatly with the increase of the consumption of the forth generation of cephalosporins cefepime. The consumption of vancomycin increased,but its resistance rate decreased. The antibacterial compound preparation showed satisfactory antibacterial activity even if its consumption had a marked increase. CONCLUSION:There is a direct relation between the consumption of antibacterials in large quantity and the variation of drug resistance. It is necessary to strengthen clinical management on antibacterials to raise rational drug use level.
