Defined daily doses in pediatric dosing‐ a theoretical example

Pharmacology Research & Perspectives, 2023
AbstractA defined daily dose for children (cDDD) taking body weight into account, was proposed as a better measure of drug utilization in children than the World Health Organization's DDD. There is no global definition of DDDs for children, and it is unclear which standard doses should be used for children when conducting drug utilization studies.

Penicillins’ defined daily doses must be changed [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018
Klein et al. (1) suggest that defined daily doses (DDDs) are not a perfect outcome measure of antibiotic prescribing, particularly for penicillins (39% of total DDDs in 2015 for broad-spectrum penicillins). We identified the same limitations as illustrated by the results of our study (2), which measured the bias of estimation for amoxicillin’s ...

Cross-sectional study on the drug utilization and evaluation indicator of antibiotics used in pediatric population

BMC Health Services Research, 2021
Background The lack of medication standards is a serious problem in paediatrics mainly because of age-related differences in organ development and physiological functions in children. Consequently, dosage measurement becomes inaccurate.
