Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To quantify clinical inappropriateness of antibiotic prescription and its costs in primary health care. METHODS:2470 cases of infectious disease during 1998 were analysed. RESULTS:Of all cases, 69.9% did not require antibiotic treatment. Global clinical inappropriateness amounted to 43.7%, rising to 56.7% with the introduction of economic criteria. Treatment unnecessary but antibiotic provided (27.9%) represented the most important category. Costs of inappropriateness reached 68.4% of the estimated total cost. CONCLUSION:Appropriate antibiotic use should be focused on reducing antibiotic prescription when not indicated and restraining the use of penicillins maintaining restrictive and adequate health policies, and also achieving co-responsibility from the general population.
