Abstract

In our work we analyzed utilisation of antibiotics for systemic use at the Surgical Clinic of the Clinical Hospital Centre - Pristina in Gracanica in 2007. and 2008. Data on antibiotic utilization were delivered on the basis of drug dispensing records from the Central Hospital Pharmacy during the two-years period. Antibiotics were distributed inside the ATC/DDD system in accordance with WHO guidelines. Quantitative antibiotics' utilisation was expressed as number of defined daily doses per 100 patient-days (DDDs/100 PD). Overall use of antibiotics in 2007 was 123.37 DDDs/100 PD, and 125.09 DDDs /100 PD in 2008. Three most utilized antibiotics in 2007. were cefuroxime 24.26 DDDs/100 PD (19.66 % of total antibiotics' use), ceftriaxone 16.65 DDDs/100 PD (13.49 %), and cephalexin 15.78 DDDs/100 PD (12.79 %). In 2008. the most utilized were ceftriaxone 23.23 DDDs/100 PD (18.57 %), cefuroxime 22.53 DDDs/100 PD (18.01 %), and co-trimoxazole 19,55 DDDs/100 PD (15.63 %). Qualitative and quantitative part of the consumed antibiotics was mainly in accordance with the results of similar researches in our country.
