Using a US nationwide survey, we measured disparities in antimicrobial drug acquisition by race/ethnicity for 2014-2015. White persons reported twice as many antimicrobial drug prescription fills per capita as persons of other race/ethnicities. Characterizing antimicrobial drug use by demographic might improve antimicrobial drug stewardship and help address antimicrobial drug resistance.
利用一项美国全国性调查,我们衡量了 2014-2015 年不同种族/民族人群获得抗菌药物的差异。报告显示,白人每千人的抗菌药物处方配药量是其他种族/民族的两倍。根据人口统计学特征来描述抗菌药物的使用情况可能会改善抗菌药物管理,并有助于解决抗菌药物耐药性问题。
