Antibiotic prescribing patterns in hospitals are analysed in this review of three drug utilisation studies conducted in six European countries, with special emphasis to the third-generation cephalosporins. A great variability in the use of antimicrobial drugs is evident, both between countries and between hospitals in the same country. This variability is found also between patients with the same infectious disease. The possible reasons for these differences are discussed and a strategy to modify the hospital drugs prescribing is suggested.
本综述分析了在六个欧洲国家开展的三项药物利用研究中的医院抗生素处方模式，特别关注第三代头孢菌素。抗菌药物的使用在不同国家之间以及同一国家的不同医院之间存在很大差异。在患有相同传染病的患者之间也发现了这种差异。讨论了造成这些差异的可能原因，并提出了一种改变医院药物处方的策略。
