| Abstract (English): | Objective: The objective of this study has been to examine antibiotic consumption in Spain through the use of the National Surveys of Health (NSH) . Material and methods: Taking the NSH, between 1993 and 2003, certain variables regarding the consumption of antibiotics have been analyzed; putting these into groups according to their typology, habits, co-morbidity and the utilization of health resources. This information has been compared with published data by other authors. Results: The consumption of antibiotics was approximately 3%, and 9-19% of this was not prescribed. Significant statistical associations have been observed between the consumption of antibiotics and other aspects such as academic and income levels, habits such as smoking, general health, certain chronic diseases, being bed-ridden due to disease; and also the use of certain medicines and the antiinfluenza vaccine. Conclusions: Consumption of antibiotics coincides with described data by other authors, and this was always higher than prescribed. The association with other variables may be limited by the inadequate NSH design in order to know the exact consumption of antibiotics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio ha sido conocer el consumo de antibióticos en España a través de las Encuestas Nacionales de Salud (ENS). Material y método: Partiendo de las ENS entre 1993 y 2003, han sido analizadas ciertas variables con respecto al consumo de antibióticos; agrupándose por tipología, hábitos, comorbilidad y utilización de recursos sanitarios, y se han comparado con los datos publicados por otros autores. Resultados: El consumo de antibióticos fue del 3% aproximadamente, del que no fue prescrito el 9-19%. Se ha observado asociación estadística significativa entre el consumo de antibióticos y ciertos aspectos como el nivel de estudios e ingresos económicos, hábitos como tabaco, estado general de salud, ciertas enfermedades crónicas, guardar cama por enfermedad y consumo de ciertos medicamentos y vacuna antigripal. Conclusiones: El consumo de antibióticos coincide con lo descrito por otros autores, siendo siempre superior al prescrito. La asociación con otras variables puede estar limitada por la inadecuación del diseño de las ENS para conocer el consumo exacto de antibióticos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
