Hospital statistics for antibiotics: defined versus prescribed daily dose
Infection, 2014Defined daily doses (DDD) are widely used as a unit to measure drug use in hospital and community settings. However, discrepancies exist between DDD and actual prescribed daily dose (PDD). The present study aims at estimating an alternative PDD (PDD-proxy) to calculate rates of systemic antibiotic consumption and to compare these results with those ...

Prescribed daily doses (PDDs) of antiepileptics (N03A ATC group) were recorded for drugs used in monotherapy or in combination therapy in the University Hospital in Ostrava, Czechia. Plasma levels were used as an indicator of the quality of treatment.Request and reply forms for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) were used as a source of PDDs and plasma ...

Verschillen tussen WHO ‘Defined Daily Doses’ en ‘Prescribed Daily Doses’ van antibiotica
Medisch-Farmaceutische Mededelingen, 2006Op Europees niveau wordt veel onderzoek gedaan naar antibioticagebruik, zowel extra- als intramuraal 1,2. Voor het uitdrukken van blootstelling aan antibiotica wordt in het algemeen de ATC/DDD-methodologie van de WHO gebruikt. Hierbij wordt het aantal ‘defined daily doses’ (DDD’s) gedefinieerd als ‘de aangenomen gemiddelde onderhoudsdosering per dag ...

[Daily defined doses of parkinsonian drugs in Alcoi].
Revista de neurologia, 1996Some authors have suggested that the use of DDD (defined daily doses) of L-dopa may be useful as an indicator of the frequency of Parkinson's disease.To determine the measurement for L-dopa and selegiline in Alcoi.We have obtained the intakes for L-dopa and selegiline between January and December, 1990 and we have calculated the DDD/1,000 inhab/day ...

Risk of medication safety incidents with antibiotic use measured by defined daily doses
International Journal of Clinical Pharmacy, 2013Medication incidents (MIs) account for 11.3 % of all reported patient-safety incidents in England and Wales. Approximately one-third of inpatients are prescribed an antibiotic at some point during their hospital stay. The WHO has identified incident reporting as one solution to reduce the recurrence of adverse incidents.The aim of this study was to ...

Background Different measurements to assess antibacterial use in hospitals have been described, many of them based on the WHO Defined Daily Dose (DDD) assignments. Although WHO accepts the update of DDDs, ‘changes of DDDs should be kept to a minimum and avoided as far as possible’.
