<h3>Objective</h3> Resistance to antibiotics is the major cause of treatment failure <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> infection. A study was conducted assess prospectively antibacterial resistance rates <i>H in Europe and link between outpatient antibiotic use levels different countries. <h3>Design</h3> Primary were determined from April 2008 June 2009 18 European Data on yearly cumulative over several years systemic agents ambulatory care for period 2001–8 expressed Defined Daily Doses (DDD) per...
BackgroundThe Global Point Prevalence Survey (Global-PPS) established an international network of hospitals to measure antimicrobial prescribing and resistance worldwide. We aimed assess in hospital inpatients.MethodsWe used a standardised surveillance method collect detailed data about from worldwide, which were grouped by UN region. The internet-based survey included all inpatients (adults, children, neonates) receiving who on the ward at 0800 h one specific day between January September,...
Improving the quality of hospital antibiotic use is a major goal WHO's global action plan to combat antimicrobial resistance. The WHO Essential Medicines List Access, Watch, and Reserve (AWaRe) classification could facilitate simple stewardship interventions that are widely applicable globally. We aimed present data on patterns paediatric AWaRe be used for local national interventions.1-day point prevalence survey prescription were combined from two independent networks: Global Antimicrobial...
Previously, web-based tools for cross-sectional antimicrobial point prevalence surveys (PPSs) have been used in adults to develop indicators of quality improvement. We aimed determine the feasibility developing similar improved prescribing focusing specifically on hospitalized neonates and children worldwide. A standardized PPS method was employed. Included were all inpatient receiving an at 8:00 am day PPS. Denominators included total number inpatients. application data entry, validation...
To describe total outpatient systemic antibiotic use in Europe from 1997 to 2009 and analyse statistically trends of composition over time.For the period 1997-2009, data on antibiotics aggregated at level active substance were collected expressed defined daily doses (WHO, version 2011) packages per 1000 inhabitants day (DID PID, respectively). Outpatient (ATC J01) DID 33 European countries able deliver valid was analysed using longitudinal compositional analyses.Total varied by a factor 3.8...
The WHO Access, Watch and Reserve (AWaRe) classification has been developed to support countries hospitals in promoting rational use of antibiotics while improving access these essential medicines. We aimed describe patterns worldwide antibiotic according the AWaRe adult inpatient population.The Global Point Prevalence Survey on Antimicrobial Consumption Resistance (Global-PPS) collects hospital data using a standardized PPS methodology. Global-PPS 2015, 2017 2018 data, collected by 664 69...
The neonatal and pediatric antimicrobial point prevalence survey (PPS) of the Antibiotic Resistance Prescribing in European Children project (http://www.arpecproject.eu/) aims to standardize a method for surveillance use children neonates admitted hospital within Europe. This article describes audit criteria used reports overall country-specific proportions use. An analytical review presents methodologies on use.A 1-day PPS hospitalized was organized September 2011, using previously...
BackgroundData on 13 years (1997–2009) of outpatient penicillin use were collected from 33 European countries within the Surveillance Antimicrobial Consumption (ESAC) project and analysed in detail.
Objectives: In line with the recent global action plan for antimicrobial resistance, this is first time such a comprehensive point prevalence survey has been undertaken in Pakistan, sixth most populous country.Methods: This (PPS) was conducted 13 hospitals among 7 different cities of Pakistan. The included all inpatients receiving an antibiotic on day PPS. A web-based application used data entry, validation, and reporting as designed by University Antwerp (www.global-pps.com).Results: Out...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remains an important global public health issue with antimicrobial misuse and overuse being one of the main drivers. The Global Point Prevalence Survey (G-PPS) Consumption Resistance assesses prevalence quality prescriptions across hospitals globally. G-PPS was carried out at 17 Ghana, Uganda, Zambia Tanzania. overall use 50% (30–57%), most antibiotics prescribed belonging to WHO ‘Access’ ‘Watch’ categories. No ‘Reserve’ category study sites while...
Associations between physical health and depression are consistent across cultures among adults up to 65 years of age.

Measures were harmonized for (EURO-D scale), functional...
To assess quality of outpatient antibiotic use in Europe 2009 based on the 12 European Surveillance Antimicrobial Consumption (ESAC) drug-specific indicators and to evaluate changes between 2004 2009.Quality was compared 32 countries by calculating indicator values for each ESAC data expressed defined daily doses per 1000 inhabitants day (DID). For we grouped into four quartiles. 2009, their respective values, were also according quartile distribution values. Only able deliver both years...
To assess the total systemic antiviral use in Europe and to identify substances most commonly used. Within European Surveillance of Antimicrobial Consumption (ESAC; www.esac.ua.ac.be), using anatomical therapeutic chemical (ATC) classification defined daily dose (DDD) measurement unit, data on (out- inpatient) (ATC J05), aggregated at level active substance, were collected for 2008, was expressed DDD (WHO ATC/DDD, version 2010) per 1000 inhabitants day (DID). Antiviral grouped according...
Data on more than a decade of outpatient quinolone use were collected from 33 European countries within the Surveillance Antimicrobial Consumption (ESAC) project, funded by Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).For period 1997-2009, data systemic quinolones aggregated at level active substance using Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC)/defined daily dose (DDD) method (WHO, version 2011), expressed in DDD packages per 1000 inhabitants day (DID PID, respectively).

The National Health Service England, Commissioning for Quality and Innovation Antimicrobial Resistance (CQUIN AMR) aims to reduce the total antibiotic consumption use of certain broad-spectrum antibiotics in secondary care. However, robust baseline data are lacking hospitalised children. In this study, we aim describe, compare explain prescription patterns within between paediatric units UK provide a prescribing future improvement using CQUIN AMR guidance.We conducted cross-sectional study...
Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance has become a global challenge in health care. Its emergence previously sensitive bacteria is usually associated with poor antibiotic-prescribing patterns. Methodology: A point prevalence survey was carried out four tertiary hospitals Nigeria 2015 to determine the rate and characteristics of antibiotic prescription. Results: Of 828 patients eligible for study, 69.7% received antibiotics, highest rates adult Intensive Care Unit. There were therapeutic...
Background Antimicrobials are the most commonly prescribed drugs. Many studies have evaluated antibiotic prescriptions in paediatric outpatient but few describing real consumption Italian children’s hospitals been published. Point-prevalence survey (PPS) has shown to be a simple, feasible and reliable standardized method for antimicrobials surveillance children neonates admitted hospital. In this paper, we presented data from PPS on antimicrobial carried out 7 large institutions. Methods A...
The aim of the study was to assess antimicrobial prescribing patterns, and variation in practice, India. A point prevalence survey (PPS) conducted October December 2017 16 tertiary care hospitals across included all inpatients receiving an on day PPS collected data were analysed using a web-based application University Antwerp. In all, 1750 patients surveyed, whom 1005 total 1578 antimicrobials. Among antimicrobials prescribed, 26.87% for community-acquired infections; 19.20%...
