Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of glucocorticoid in the clinic. METHODS:The glucocorti-coid outpatient prescriptions collected from clinical departments of a hospital during Jan. 2013 to Jun. 2015 were analyzed statisti-cally in respects of glucocorticoid use,department distribution,DDDs,distribution of prescription diagnosis,etc. RESULTS:Of 15 000 prescriptions,there were 1 562 glucocorticoid prescriptions,with utilization rate of 10.4%;189 prescriptions were recog-nized as irrational ones,with irrational rate of 12.1%. The proportion of glucocorticoid in otorhinolaryngology department was the highest(27.66%),and irrational drug use was the highest in pediatrics department(16.12%);Dexamethasone injection was the most widely applied(44.88%);most of glucocorticoid prescriptions were used for acute bronchitis and bronchitis(267 pre-scriptions). CONCLUSIONS:The irrational glucocorticoid application has existed in the hospital,which deserved special atten-tion. Hence,prescription check and evaluation should be strengthened to promote the safety and efficacy of glucocorticoid in clini-cal application.
