Using defined daily doses to review antibiotic prescribing [PDF]
Prescriber, 2021 Optimising antibiotic prescribing in the primary care setting is a key component of the UK antimicrobial resistance (AMR) strategy. In this project, the authors worked with eight GP practices in Cornwall that had high levels of antibiotic prescribing to help them find ways to improve their prescribing and reduce antibiotic consumption, using defined ...

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.

Antimicrobial defined daily dose in neonatal population
Enfermedades Infecciosas y Microbiología Clínica, 2022 Antimicrobial defined daily dose (DDD), a standardized metric to assess antimicrobial consumption in adult population, has limitations hampering its use in neonatal patients. This study proposes an alternative DDD design applicable for neonates.Neonates (

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 ...
