The aim of our study was to describe the pattern of antibiotic prescribing for respiratory tract infections. Forty-four family physicians from Białystok (north-eastern Poland) filled in questionnaires regarding 1315 patients with respiratory tract infections. Antibiotics were prescribed in 803 cases (61.1%). The four principle diagnoses associated with prescribing an antibiotic were: bacterial pharyngitis/tonsillitis, acute bronchitis, unspecified bacterial superinfection and acute sinusitis for which a total of 572 antibiotic treatments were given (71.2% of all antibiotic prescriptions). The study shows that Polish family physicians diagnose respiratory tract infections empirically and frequently prescribe wide-spectrum antibiotics. More information is required about the diagnostic value of certain clinical symptoms such as purulent sputum, duration of cough and indications for broad-spectrum antibiotic use.
我们研究的目的是描述呼吸道感染的抗生素处方模式。来自比亚韦斯托克(波兰东北部)的44名家庭医生填写了关于1315例呼吸道感染患者的问卷。803例(61.1%)患者使用了抗生素。与抗生素处方相关的四个主要诊断为:细菌性咽炎/扁桃体炎、急性支气管炎、未明确的细菌重叠感染和急性鼻窦炎,共进行了572次抗生素治疗(占所有抗生素处方的71.2%)。该研究表明,波兰家庭医生凭经验诊断呼吸道感染,并经常开具广谱抗生素。需要更多关于某些临床症状(如脓性痰、咳嗽持续时间和广谱抗生素使用指征)的诊断价值的信息。
