Effectiveness of some interventions to increase the rational use of antibiotics at Thai Binh General Hospital, 2017 - 2019

Abstract

Intervention study was conducted on 602 patients with the aim of evaluating the effectiveness of some intervention to increase the rational use of antibiotics at Thai Binh General Hospital in the period of 2017 to 2019. Method: Cohort study. Research results showed that the proportion of antibiotic selection was reasonable prior to the program implementation,
in 2017 it was 40.1%. After the program, in 2019 it was 56.7%, this rate increased signifcantly (p < 0.001). The rate of appropriate antibiotic selection after having antibiotic results before implementing the program, in 2017 was 71.6%. After the program, in 2019 it was 80.2%, this rate increased signifcantly (p < 0.05). The reasonable rate of using antibiotics before implementing the program, in 2017, was 68.4%. after the program, in 2019 it was 74.4%, this rate did not increase signifcantly (p > 0.05).
