Background:As a major tool for the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, the antibacterial drugs are commonly used in hospitals. But over the past twenty years, the irrational administration of antibacterial drugs become more and more serious around the world, which not only leads to heavier economic and health burden on inpatients, but also increases bacterial resistance, worsens the global environment and results in other serious social problems. Irrational administration of antibacterial drugs has become a major global public health problem.Understanding the current situation of the clinical use of antibacterial drug and analyzing the influence factors of the clinical use of antibacterial drugs are the basis for promoting the rational use of antibacterial drugs. Existing literatures reports that most domestic studies are limited to the research of using antibacterial drugs within a certain group or on a certain date, while there is no such a detailed study for the antibacterial use and utility trends of a relatively fixed population, let alone the lack of study about antibacterial drugs use before and after implementation of the "Guiding Principles of clinical use of antibiotics". So it is difficult to accurately and fully reflect the antibacterial drugs use of inpatients under the circumstances.Objective:The objectives of this study are to investigate the situation and trends of antibacterial drugs use from 2003 to 2009, fully reveal the current constitution, changes and economic burden of antibacterial drugs administration, analyze the main factors affecting the current situation, and develop proper interventions to reduce the irrational administration of antibacterial drugs. Specific objectives are:(1) To employ a comprehensive analysis on the situation and trends of prescription rate, combination administration, administration route, bacterial culture, drug type of antibacterial drugs of inpatients in 102 hospitals from 2003 to 2009.(2) To evaluate the economic burden of antibacterial drugs on inpatients, and the composition of the economic burden of various antibacterial drugs on patients as well as its trend of change. (3) By analyzing the value of various types of DDDs of antibacterial drugs, to describe the total usage, composition and change trends of antibacterial drugs, calculate DDDc (medication daily price), evaluate the economic burden, analyze DDDs value per thousand inpatients, and compare those data with international data.(4) By analyzing the antibacterial drugs administration of patients with simple goiter and puerperal to the administration of antibiotics of patients with reflect antibiotics administration of patients with clearing operation. By analyzing antibacterial drugs administration of acute simple appendicitis patients with different types of payment to reveal how medical insurance payment influences antibacterial drugs administration.(5) To analyze the administration status of levofloxacin which is most frequently prescribed and Cefoperazone Sulbactam which costs patients most.Methods:A retrospective study is applied to conduct a full-sample analysis.(1) Subjects:the subjects of this study are in-patients which are hospitalized from January 1,2003 to December 31,2009; those patients are covered by Hunan provincial basic medical insurance which is managed by Medical Insurance Bureau of Hunan Province. The number of the insured staff is 200?300 thousand per year; 7-year cumulative insured staffs are 1.8041 million. Using full sample analysis, the antibiotics administration situation of 245322 in-patients are studied in this study.(2) Data sources and its composition:Data from this paper comes from the management information system database of Medical Insurance Bureau of Hunan Province. This system is directly connected with the hospital information system (HIS) system, and automatically access data from the HIS system to settle on medical insurance expenses. As for those hospitals which has no hospital HIS system, medication administration, medical services and expenses are faithfully recorded into system. The research data was directly exported from the medical insurance management information system by software developers.Coding systems introduced into this study are:disease coding-ICD-10 International Classification of Diseases; fees and payment code are defined by software development company (Chuangzhi Company); other codes, such as gender, therapeutic effect is national standard codes.Data include:general data (name, gender, age, nationality, civil servants level, work status, nature of one's work, visiting hospital, the level of visiting hospital, clinical diagnosis ICD-10 classification, admission date, discharge date, length of hospitalization stay and therapeutic effect), medical expense (including medicine fees, surgery fees), name, dosage forms, specifications, quantities, administration methods of antimicrobial drug, antimicrobial drug costs, time and cost of clinical microbiological examination (including pathogenic microorganisms microscopy, culture, identification and drug sensitivity test).(3) Authenticity:including routine Authenticity and research sampling principles.?Medical insurance staff do sampling check on the medical records of 5%-10% inpatients every month, matching the actual inpatient treatment programs, drug amounts and costs of medical insurance. Only data in medical record is in accordance with the medical insurance system, accounts can be settled;?In this study, the researchers took 1‰data to match with the hospital medical records one by one for data verification, so as to make sure the accuracy of the data, then statistical analysis was conducted?(4) Selection criteria:the data of insured inpatients was cleaned up; data that fits with one of the following conditions should be deleted:?The absence of the main variables in the analysis (such as:discharge time, age, diagnosis, ICD-10 antimicrobial drug administration, etc.);?Hospitalization outside Changsha city;?hospitalization costs less than 100 Yuan;?Hospital stay is less than 1 day;?The sum of every hospital expense is not equal to the total cost;?The payment of fees and not equal to the total cost.?The patient is younger than 18 years old;?The sum of the cost of antimicrobial agents is negative.(5) Data processing:?Delete data in accordance with the screening criteria.?Focus on translating the name and specifications of antibiotics. Before "Prescription Management Principles" took into effect in 2008, hospital prescription drugs were recorded in their trade names, which have brought great difficulties to the statistical analysis. Thus each brand name was changed into a common name in this study, and each drug was coded in accordance with the chemical structure and classification of the World Health Organization (i.e., ATC code), while specification was conversed to unified international units in accordance with the ATC/DDD, then statistical analysis was conducted.(6) Analysis methods:Hospital cost data, often on positively skewed distribution, should be described with its central tendency and dispersion tendency using the median and interquartile range respectively. Considering the regulations of the Ministry of Health and the health sector's long-term habits, and the median of the non-additive, the median and arithmetic mean were given when described the cost in this study. Statistical methods include descriptive statistics, t test, ANOVA,?2 test, multiple regression analysis. Application of Kolmogorov-Simonov measurement data and Levine test to determine the normal distribution and the overall homogeneity of variance. Normal distribution was analyzed by Student's t test, non-normal distribution was analyzed by Mann-Whitney U test to compare the mean. Administration?2 test to analyze Count Data. Two-tailed P value, P< 0.05 was considered significant difference. DBF was administration for data conversion, SPSS17.0 software for data processing and statistical analysis.(7) Quality control:The data comes from the management information system database of Medical Insurance Bureau of Hunan Province. Data capacity is abundant; its content is true and reliable; data was screened rigorously to ensure data accuracy and integrity. Data acquisition and conversion were monitored by a specific staff person who is responsible for Oracle database technology to ensure accurate data conversion process.Results:(A) General situation:A total of 240,2 thousand insured people had received treatment in 102 hospitals from 2003 to 2009, who participated in Hunan Province's basic medical insurance for urban workers. Among them,138 thousand were (57.45%) male patients,102.2 thousand (42.55%) were female patients, whose age ranged from 59.8 plus or minus 14.9 years old, and their hospitalized time almost 20.8 plus or minus 18.2 days on average. There are 130 thousand (54.12%) inpatients in 20 tertiary hospitals,68.3 thousand (28.46%) in 32 Second-level hospitals, and 41.8 thousand (17.43%) inpatients in First-level hospitals.88.1 thousand inpatients were occupied personnel, made up 36.70% of the total number, while 152 thousand retired inpatients which made up 63.30%.39,981 inpatients received operation, which accounted for 16.65% of all research numbers in this study.
