Abstract

The WHO has stated that AMR is one of the greatest health threats facing humanity and is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality with a disproportionate impact on vulnerable groups of patients. The WHO set out its global action plan in 2015 and most countries have their own national plans which take a "whole system one health" approach that includes infection prevention and optimising the use of antimicrobials through stewardship programs and diagnostics. In hospitals, antimicrobials are some of the most commonly prescribed medications creating significant selection pressure for emerging resistance. Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) in hospitals comprises a set of structured interventions that seek to optimise the benefits of treatments whilst limiting the harms. AMS is effective and has proven benefits such as improved outcomes and reduced spread of resistance in hospitals. This paper highlights key principles for antimicrobial prescribing and highlights recent evidence some of which has been practice changing.

以处方促变革--在医院中更安全地使用抗菌药物。
世卫组织指出,AMR 是人类面临的最大健康威胁之一,造成了严重的发病率和死亡率,对弱势群体患者的影响尤为严重。世卫组织于 2015 年制定了全球行动计划,大多数国家都制定了自己的国家计划,采取 "全系统一健康 "的方法,包括感染预防和通过管理计划和诊断优化抗菌药物的使用。在医院中,抗菌药物是一些最常用的处方药,这对新出现的耐药性造成了巨大的选择压力。医院抗菌药物管理(AMS)包括一系列结构化干预措施,旨在优化治疗效果,同时限制危害。抗菌药物管理是有效的,其好处已得到证实,如改善疗效和减少耐药性在医院中的传播。本文强调了抗菌药物处方的关键原则,并重点介绍了最近的一些证据,其中一些证据已经改变了实践。
