This study was aimed to evaluate the usage patterns of aminoglycosides in pediatric patients for their appropriateness.
A retrospective review was conducted over a period of six months at J.S.S. Hospital, Mysore. Patients who received parenteral aminoglycosides and below the age of 12 years were included in this study.
A total of 197 pediatric patients were evaluated for the appropriateness and was found to be 72%, 86%, 85%, 43% & 53% for indication, dose, duration, safety and cost effectiveness respectively. Majority of the patients were treated with gentamicin (53%). The most frequent indication was respiratory tract infections (50%).
