In a retrospective, ecological analysis of US medical claims, visit rates explained more of the geographic variation in outpatient antibiotic prescribing rates than per-visit prescribing. Efforts to reduce antibiotic use may benefit from addressing the factors that drive higher rates of outpatient visits, in addition to continued focus on stewardship.
在一项针对美国医疗索赔的回顾性、生态学分析中,就诊次数比每次就诊的处方率更能解释门诊抗生素处方率的地域差异。除了继续关注管理措施外,减少抗生素使用的努力可能还需要解决导致门诊就诊率较高的因素。
