| Summary, etc. | Efficacious use of antimicrobial agents (AMAs) is paramount to combat a wide range<br/>of infections, ensure patient safety, and reduce antimicrobial resistance. To assess<br/>the drug utilization patterns of AMAs in hospitalized patients with infectious diseases<br/>in a secondary care hospital. A prospective observational study was conducted for<br/>6 months in the internal medicine department. Data were collected, antimicrobial<br/>prescription patterns were screened, and drug utilization was assessed using the<br/>anatomical therapeutic chemical/defined daily dose methodology. Furthermore,<br/>predictors of the prescription of multiple AMAs were also analyzed. A total of<br/>146 patient case records were reviewed and 285 AMAs were prescribed during the<br/>study period with a mean patient age of 54.2 ± 24.4 years. The average number of<br/>antimicrobials administered per patient was 1.94 ± 0.94. Respiratory tract infection<br/>and urinary tract infection were the common indications, and penicillins were the<br/>most prescribed class of AMAs. Multivariate analysis showed that the presence of<br/>comorbidities (P < 0.05) and longer hospital stays (P < 0.0001) increased the likelihood<br/>of prescribing multiple AMAs. The study provides insight into the pattern of prescribing<br/>of AMAs which help to improve the quality of care. Prescribing AMAs by generics<br/>and from the hospital formulary list according to the recommendations of the World<br/>Health Organization is a good sign of clinical practice. The study signifies the need<br/>to continuously monitor AMAs to optimize drug therapy and enhance the quality of<br/>drug use in clinical practice. |
