We present a European Union/European Economic Area-wide overview of the changes in consumption of antibacterials for systemic use (ATC J01) in the community between 2019 and 2020 as reported to the European Surveillance of Antimicrobial Consumption Network. Overall antibiotic consumption decreased by 18.3% between 2019 and 2020, the largest annual decrease in the network's two-decade history. We observed a strong association between the level of community antibiotic consumption in 2019 and the size of the decrease between 2019 and 2020.
我们呈现了一份欧盟/欧洲经济区范围内的社区系统使用抗菌药物(ATC J01)消费变化的概述,这是根据向欧洲抗菌药物消耗监测网络报告的数据得出的。2019 年至 2020 年间,抗生素总消耗量下降了 18.3%,这是该网络二十年历史上最大的年度降幅。我们观察到 2019 年社区抗生素消费水平与 2019 年至 2020 年间降幅大小之间存在很强的关联。
