Eye infections are a global health and economic problem that affect people of both sexes at any age. Topical application of anti-infectives is widely used in the treatment of these types of infections. However, little is known about the current status and trends of the use of topical ocular anti-infectives in Spain. In the present work, we evaluated the use of this type of drug in the Spanish autonomous community of Galicia and described the variability in its consumption between Galician provinces between 2020 and 2023. In addition, the possible existence of a deviation in consumption at a seasonal level was evaluated, as well as possible changes during the study period. A descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study of the use of drugs belonging to the subgroups S01A (anti-infectives) and S01C (anti-inflammatory agents and anti-infectives in combination) of the Anatomic Therapeutic Chemical Classification was carried out. This work demonstrated that the most used topical ocular anti-infective in Galicia was tobramycin and that the use of these types of drugs in our region varied according to the provinces. This study also revealed that the consumption of these medications has remained stable during the period 2020-2023, with no significant seasonal differences observed.
眼部感染是一个全球性的健康和经济问题,影响着各个年龄段的男女。局部应用抗感染药物在这类感染的治疗中被广泛使用。然而,对于西班牙局部眼部抗感染药物的使用现状和趋势知之甚少。在本研究中,我们评估了这类药物在西班牙加利西亚自治区的使用情况,并描述了2020年至2023年间加利西亚各省之间其消费量的差异。此外,还评估了季节性消费偏差的可能性以及研究期间可能发生的变化。对解剖治疗化学分类中S01A(抗感染药物)和S01C(抗炎药物和联合抗感染药物)亚组的药物使用情况进行了描述性、横断面和回顾性研究。这项研究表明,加利西亚最常用的局部眼部抗感染药物是妥布霉素,并且这类药物在我们地区的使用因省份而异。该研究还显示,这些药物的消费量在2020 - 2023年期间保持稳定,未观察到显著的季节性差异。
