Due to the high morbidity of bacterial illnesses, there have been a lot of studies to assess the use of antibacterials. These studies usually focus on a small sample, whereas in the present study both the development of the use of antimicrobials in non-hospital care throughout Catalonia, and the extent to which new medicines are used, are examined.
A retrospective, observational study.
Catalonia.
Using the data supplied by the pharmacy data base of the Catalan Health Service in DHD for 1992-1995, analyses were made of the development in the use of the different antibacterial subgroups, the effect of using new medicines and their impact on similar older antibacterials.
The overall number of antibacterials taken in Catalonia remained fairly stable at high levels.
Antibacterials are widely used. Three is a tendency to substitute newly marketed medicines for traditional medicines. A more prudent attitude should be adopted when starting antibacterials treatments and choosing the most suitable antibiotics for non-hospital care.
由于细菌性疾病的高发病率，已有许多研究评估抗菌药物的使用情况。这些研究通常聚焦于小样本，而本研究既考察了加泰罗尼亚地区非医院护理中抗菌药物使用情况的发展，也考察了新药的使用程度。
一项回顾性观察研究。
加泰罗尼亚。
利用加泰罗尼亚卫生服务机构药房数据库在DHD中提供的1992 - 1995年的数据，分析了不同抗菌药物亚组使用情况的发展、新药使用的效果及其对类似旧抗菌药物的影响。
加泰罗尼亚地区服用抗菌药物的总数在高水平上保持相当稳定。
抗菌药物被广泛使用。存在用新上市药物替代传统药物的趋势。在开始抗菌治疗和为非医院护理选择最合适的抗生素时，应采取更谨慎的态度。
