| Summary, etc. | Objective: The study was carried out to generate research on d rug utilization pattern in paediatric patients in g overnment headquarters hospital, Tiruppur, Tamilnadu, India using world health organ ization (WHO) and international network for rationa l use of drugs (INRUD) core indicator. Methods: The core prescribing indicators of the world health organization was used to assess the appropriate us e of drugs. Index of rational drug prescribing (IRDP) developed by Zhang and Zhi was a lso used to find out the performance of a health ca re system in terms of drug utilization. Results: Out of 859 drugs in 200 cases the highest prescribe d drug class is antibiotics 304(35.39%) and the maj ority of drugs were administered in injectable form 412(47.94%). It was analysed that a majority of prescriptions 117(58.5%) were discharg ed in between 4-7 d. 161(80.5%) patients were dismissed after completion of treatment. On an alysing world health organization (WHO) prescribing core indicators, the average number of drugs per prescription was 4.29 which is higher tha n double the average number (i.e., 2). This indicat es poly-pharmacy practice. 97.78% of drugs were prescribed were the generic name and percentag e of encounters with antibiotic prescribed was 90.5 % which is thrice greater than world health organization (WHO) standard<30%. Prescribing of injections is not within the world health organi zation (WHO) recommended range<20% and it was far higher showing 97.5% which is essent ial for paediatric inpatients. The prescribing prac tice in paediatric ward is in complete adherence to national essential drug list (EDL) or formulary. The mean value of the index of rational drug prescribing (IRDP) obtained was 3.09 which is very similar to that of optimal value worl d health organization (WHO). Conclusion: Prescription by generic name, prescribing drugs fro m essential drug list (EDL) and free government sup ply are encouraging findings in this hospital. The result shows poly-pharmacy and o veruse of antibiotics are the areas to be concerned . The better clinical outcome shows rational prescribing is practised well. |
