OBJECTIVES
Recognize the patterns and the cost of the drugs dispensed to summer visitors who attended Primary Health Care Centers (PHCCs) in Aseer region.
METHODS
This study was conducted in Aseer region during the summer of 1998. The investigators designed and distributed special forms on which were blanks for names, age, sex, diagnosis and drugs that were prescribed for summer visitors who attended PHCCs in Aseer region. At the end of season, all the forms were collected and analyzed manually by well-trained nurses and assistant pharmacists. The cost of the drugs was calculated according to the price list provided by the Medical Supply Department.
RESULTS
A total of 96327 forms were evaluated. These represented 25% of the total number of prescriptions issued by PHCC physicians during the summer season. The total cost of the dispensed drugs was estimated as 190533 SR (50808$). About 20% of what was dispensed was for summer visitors who had utilized the PHCC services in Aseer region. Antibiotics and painkillers cost 42% and 21% of the total cost respectively.
CONCLUSION
This study showed that the cost of drugs for summer visitors in Aseer region was 20.5% of the total drug cost. This additional cost should be considered in planning the drug budget.
目的
识别在阿西尔地区初级卫生保健中心（PHCCs）就诊的夏季访客所配药物的模式及成本。
方法
本研究于1998年夏季在阿西尔地区开展。研究人员设计并分发了特殊表格，上面有姓名、年龄、性别、诊断以及为在阿西尔地区PHCCs就诊的夏季访客所开药物的空白处。在季节结束时，所有表格被收集起来，由训练有素的护士和助理药剂师进行人工分析。药物成本根据医疗供应部门提供的价格表计算。
结果
共评估了96327份表格。这些表格占夏季期间PHCC医生开出的处方总数的25%。所配药物的总成本估计为190533沙特里亚尔（50808美元）。所配药物中约20%是给在阿西尔地区使用过PHCC服务的夏季访客的。抗生素和止痛药分别占总成本的42%和21%。
结论
本研究表明，阿西尔地区夏季访客的药物成本占总药物成本的20.5%。在规划药物预算时应考虑这一额外成本。
