[Evaluation of ambulatory antibiotic use in Hungary using drug-specific quality indicators].

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:Rational use of antibiotics is an important tool in combating antibiotic resistance. AIM:The aim of the authors was to evaluate the quality of ambulatory antibiotic use in Hungary. METHOD:Crude antibiotic sales data for the period between 1996 and 2010 were converted into DDD (Defined Daily Dose) per 1000 inhabitants and per year. The recently developed and validated drug-specific quality indicators were used to evaluate antibiotic use. RESULTS:Beside constant quantity (18.0±1.8 DDD/1000 inhabitants/day), the authors detected major changes in the composition of antibiotic use. Ratios of the consumption of broad to narrow spectrum beta-lactams and macrolides increased eight-fold (1996: 2.2 vs. 2010: 15.8) and consumption of fluoroquinolones tripled. Out of the ten surveyed drug-specific quality indicators, Hungary belonged to the European elite in case of three, while considering the remaining seven, Hungary ranked among the weak or weakest European countries. CONCLUSION:In quantity Hungary an ambulatory antibiotic use resembles to Scandinavian countries while it mimics antibiotic consumption patterns of southern countries. :Bevezetés: A bakteriális rezisztencia visszaszorítására az antibiotikumok átgondolt alkalmazása lehetséges beavatkozási pont. Célkitűzés: A hazai ambuláns antibiotikum-alkalmazás gyakorlatának nemzetközi minőségi indikátorokon keresztül történő bemutatása. Módszer: Az 1996–2010 közötti időszakra vonatkozó nyers, nagykereskedői eladásokon alapuló, ambuláns szisztémás antibiotikum-felhasználási adatokat az Egészségügyi Világszervezet 2010. évi napi terápiás dózisai (defined daily dose – DDD) figyelembevételével DDD/1000 fő/nap egységben adták meg. Az antibiotikum-felhasználás értékelésére a nemzetközileg kidolgozott és validált minőségi indikátorokat alkalmazták. Eredmények: A hazai ambuláns antibiotikum-alkalmazás a vizsgálat során mennyiségileg kiegyenlített (18,0±1,8 DDD/1000 fő/nap) volt, szerkezetében azonban jelentős változások történtek. A széles versus szűk spektrumú béta-laktámok és makrolidek felhasználási aránya többszörösére nőtt (1996: 2,2 vs. 2010: 15,8), a fluorokinolonok felhasználása megháromszorozódott. A vizsgált tíz minőségi indikátor közül Magyarország három indikátor esetében az európai elithez, négy, valamint három esetében a gyengébb, illetve leggyengébb országok közé tartozott. Következtetés: A hazai ambuláns antibiotikum-felhasználás mennyiségileg a skandináv, az összetétel tekintetében a déli országokhoz hasonlít. Orv. Hetil., 2013, 154, 947–956.
