Hospital antibiotic use is usually measured by calculating the volume as the number of daily doses defined by the World Health Organization/Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (WHO/ATC) index (DDDs) divided by a denominator indicating clinical activity, such as the number of occupied bed days.

Objective: Safe and effective antipsychotic prescribing is a fundamental skill in psychiatric practice; however, antipsychotic medications are not without risk. These risks are increased when antipsychotics are prescribed in high doses, with or without polypharmacy.

Hospital antibiotic use can be measured by calculating daily doses as defined by the WHO/ATC index (DDD) divided by the number of patient or occupied bed days. We wondered whether changes in antibiotic use density over time at a university hospital using this data format are similar in order of magnitude when compared with a different, alternative dose

[Is it preferable to prescribe 1 or 2 daily doses of sodium valproate?].
La Nouvelle presse medicale, 1983Enteric-coated tablets containing 1 500 mg of sodium valproate (VPA) were administered in a randomized fashion either once or three times a day for 7 days to 6 healthy adult volunteers. Plasma total VPA levels and unbound fractions of the drug were determined 2-hourly on the last day of each treatment.

Effect of computer-generated prompts on physician prescribing of multiple daily doses.
The Canadian journal of hospital pharmacy, 1987Cost containment of health care costs and computerization of pharmacy services are two trends that have become evident in recent years. The work described here was an attempt to reduce the prescribing of multiple daily doses of medications that could be prescribed once or twice daily by utilizing a pharmacy computer system. Ten drugs were identified as

A drug utilisation study investigating prescribed daily doses of hypolipidaemic agents
2017Objectives: To estimate average prescribed daily doses (PODs) for selected hypolipidaemic agents available on the South African market. Comparison of the estimated PODs with established ODDs (defined daily doses) and international dosage ranges. To investigate the age and gender of the users of the different hypolipidaemic drugs and drug groups. Design:

The comparison of prescribed and defined daily doses of 21 antihypertensive drugs showed minor to major differences, which have an impact on how to assess future drug demand and how to evaluate the therapeutic equivalence of various drugs. Relating problems concerning prescribing habits of drugs and research in drug demand are being discussed.

introduction: The Defined Daily Dose (DDD) is a statistical metric for quantifying drug utilization that does not always align with the Prescribed Daily Dose (PDD). This study aimed to identify the discrepancies between prescribed daily dose (PDD) and defined daily dose (DDD) among congestive heart failure (CHF)
