| Abstract | Inappropriate use of antimicrobials is the major cause of antimicrobial resistance and may increase the cost of treatment. Main strategy to minimize resistance and improve rational drug use for hospital is drug use evaluation (DUE). Also, the use of Tigecycline is increasing nowadays. Therefore, this study aimed to compare effectiveness of DUE towards the proper use of Tigecycline before and after DUE program implementation. Materials and methods: This retrospective cohort study was performed in inpatients received Tigecycline at Sunphasittiprasong hospital before DUE program implementation (1 November 2015 - 28 February 2016) and after DUE implementation (1 November 2016 - 28 February 2017). Data were collected by electronic medical chart review. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square test. Results and discussion: There were 229 patients and 232 prescriptions, The number of prescriptions before and after DUE program implementation were 154 and 78, respectively. The appropriate indication was found in 68.7 and 73.3%, of prescriptions, respectively (p-value = 0.471) and the appropriate dose was found in 26.0 and 17.3% of prescriptions, respectively (p-value = 0.111). The decrease of inappropriate dose cause from the number of samples in both periods is different and DUE program in this hospital is clear about adjust dose of Tigecycline in liver condition. Conclusion: DUE program implementation tends to improve the appropriateness of Tigecycline use. The appropriate dosage was the most effective result from DUE program. |
