Data Fusion to Convert Drug Consumption Quantities into Defined Daily Doses

2020
Analysis of consumptions has proved a misuse of antibiotics, despite the existence of national requirements. To be able to compute drugs consumption quantities of highly heterogeneous drugs expressed in various doses units, the World Health Organization has defined a defined daily dose.

Risk of medication safety incidents with antibiotic use measured by defined daily doses

International Journal of Clinical Pharmacy, 2013
Medication 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 ...
