Prescribed daily dose (PDD) and duration of treatment is estimated for the most commonly used antibiotics in a multipractice study. In 1979 574 general practitioners and in 1983 625 general practitioners recorded 7 681 respectively 8 182 prescriptions of antibiotics over a five-day period. PDD and the number of treatments were compared with Defined Daily Dose (DDD) and DDD/1 000 inhabitants/day from the official statistics of drug consumption. It was found that these commonly used units were rather misleading with regard to the daily dose actually prescribed and the number of treatments given in a certain period.
在一项多机构研究中，对最常用抗生素的规定日剂量（PDD）和治疗疗程进行了估算。1979年，574名全科医生参与研究，1983年，625名全科医生参与研究，他们分别记录了在五天时间内开出的7681张和8182张抗生素处方。将PDD和治疗次数与药物消费官方统计数据中的限定日剂量（DDD）和每千居民每日DDD进行了比较。结果发现，这些常用单位在实际规定的日剂量以及某一时期内的治疗次数方面颇具误导性。
