Long-term care pharmacy dispensing data from 2013 to 2021 were used to characterize antibiotic prescribing data in U.S. long-term care facilities. Overall antibiotic prescribing rates decreased from 2013 to 2021, mostly due to decreases in fluoroquinolones and macrolides. Tracking antibiotic use in long-term care settings can help identify opportunities for optimizing prescribing practices.
2013年至2021年的长期护理药房配药数据被用于描述美国长期护理机构中的抗生素处方数据。从2013年到2021年,总体抗生素处方率下降,主要是由于氟喹诺酮类和大环内酯类药物的减少。追踪长期护理环境中的抗生素使用情况有助于识别优化处方做法的机会。
