研究目的: 本研究評估某區域教學醫院2004至2008年的抗感染藥物的使用與醫院品質指標包括每千人日院內感染密度、出院平均住院日數、淨死亡率及粗死亡率的相關性研究。 研究設計:回溯性橫斷式研究。 研究單位:具有320床急性病床某區域教學醫院。 研究方法:抗感染藥物使用量統計是根據2008年6月WHO所公告的每日定義劑量(DDD),利用DDD方法統計2004-2008年某區域教學醫院有關病房抗感染藥品使用,按WHO/ATC藥理分類,採用每百人日DDD數進行趨勢分析,並與醫院品質指標包括每千人日院內感染密度、出院平均住院日數、淨死亡率及粗死亡率探討其相關性的情形。 研究結果: 5年中抗感染藥物每百人日DDD數以J01D Cephalosporins最高,其次是J01C Penicillins,其它依序為J01G Aminoglycosid、J01M Quinolones、J01F Macrolides, Lincosamides and Streptogramins、J01X Other antibacterials、J04A Anti-tuberculosis。在醫院品質指標與抗感染藥物類別之每百人日DDD數相關性探討,具顯著意義者(p<0.05)有:1.與每千人日院內感染率相關包括J01CG Beta-lactamase inhibitors、J01DE Fourth-generation cephalosporins、J01XA Glycopeptide antibacter-ials 、J04AB Antibiotics、J04AC Hydrazides、J04AK Other drugs for treatment of tuberculosis。2.與出院平均住院日數相關包括J01DE Fourth-generation cephalosporins、J01FA Macrolidess、J01XC Steroid antibacterials。3.與淨死亡率相關為J01FA Macrolidess。4.與粗死亡率相關(p<0.05)為J01XA Glycopeptide antibacterials。 結論: 利用每日定義劑量測量抗感染藥物的使用密度可了解藥物使用趨勢,而我們將其結合醫院住院品質指標作相關性的分析研究,所得結果顯示J01CG Beta-lactamase inhibitors、J01DE Fourth-generation cephalosporins、J01XA Glycopeptide antibacterials 、J04AB Antibiotics、J04AC Hydrazides、J04AK Other drugs for treatment of tuberculosis、J01FA Macrolidess及J01XC Steroid antibacterials的抗感染藥物與醫院住院品質指標具有顯著性的相關性,這些相關性與文獻研究相吻合,藉由這些相關性可以指導訂定合理使用抗感染藥物管控措施,應可有效地促進醫院住院品質的改善。
Study Objective: To investigate relations between the use of anti-infectives and quality indicators of hospitalization, including nosocomial infection density, average length of stay, net and gross mortality rate in a regional teaching hospital in Taiwan during the period 2004 to 2008. Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study. Setting: A 320-bed regional teaching hospital in Taiwan. Methods: The DDD of use of anti-infectives was analyzed in wards in a regional teaching hospital during the period 2004 to 2008. The DDD was based on that defined by the WHO in June 2008. According to WHO/ATC classification of pharmacology, tendency of use of anti-infectives are expressed as DDD and DDD/100 patient-days. This study investigated relations between DDD of use of anti-infectives and indicators of quality of hospitalization, including nosocomial infection density, average length of stay, net mortality rate, and gross mortality rate. Results: Results showed that J01D cephalosporins had the highest use density over the 5-year period, followed by J01C penicillins; J01G aminoglycoside; J01M quinolone; J01F macrolides, lincosamides and streptogramins; J01X Other antibacterials and J04 anti-tuberculosis. These results indicate DDD/100 patient-days of various categories of anti-infectives significantly (p<0.05) associated with quality indicators of hospitalization contained: 1. Nosocomial infection density included J01CG beta-lactamase inhibitors; J01DE fourth-generation cephalosporins; J01XA glycopeptide antibacterials; J04AB antibiotics; J04AC hydrazides and J04AK other drugs for treatment of tuberculosis. 2. Average length of stay included J01DE fourth-generation cephalosporins; J01FA macrolides and J01XC steroid antibacterials. 3. Net mortality included J01FA macroides. 4. Gross mortality included J01XA glycopeptide antibacterials. Conclusion: The use of DDD to measure the use density of anti-infectives can aid in the understanding of tendencies for drug use. We analyzed relations between DDD and hospitalization quality indicators, and our results J01CG Beta-lactamase inhibitors; J01DE Fourth-generation cephalosporins; J01XA Glycopeptide antibacterials; J04AB Antibiotics; J04AC Hydrazides; J04AK Other drugs for treatment of tuberculosis; J01FA Macrolidess and J01XC Steroid antibacterials that were significantly associated with quality indicators of hospitalization. Our results these findings are consistent with those of previous reports and can be a reference for establishing rational measures to control anti-infective drug use in order to effectively improve hospitalization quality.
