Abstract
Objective: To analyze the consumption and prescribing patterns of antibiotics among hospitalized patients at a district hospital in Phu Tho Province from 2022 to 2023. Subject and method: Inpatients with retrospective data retrieved from the hospital information system of hospital during the study period (01/01/2022-31/12/2023). Result: The proportion of hospitalized patients prescribed antibiotics over the two years was relatively high, accounting for 57.13% in 2022 and 52.32% in 2023. The average antibiotic consumption in inpatient treatment at Hospital A during the study period was 42.59 DDD/100-bed days. Third-generation cephalosporins were the most frequently prescribed antibiotic class, accounting for 33.54% in 2022 and increasing to 42.56% in 2023. According to the WHO AWaRe classification, the proportion of antibiotics in the Watch category showed an increasing trend over the years, from 54.94% in 2022 to 59.08% in 2023. The Not recommended category was presented at a low proportion (0.30%) throughout the two-year study period. Conclusion: There was a high percentage of inpatients receiving antibiotic prescriptions at Hospital A. During the study period, a large proportion of prescriptions were Watch antibiotics, and the use of this class increased over time. Interventions are urgently needed to ensure the safe and effective use of antibiotics here.
