Abstract
En México se han constatado un elevado consumo de antibióticos, su uso irracional en la atención primaria y altas tasas de resistencia en bacterias causantes de infecciones nosocomiales. Se hace necesario revisar la metodología recomendada para informar el consumo de antimicrobianos, de manera que la cuantificación se realice mediante estudios de utilización de medicamentos. Estos estudios, que permiten conocer los medicamentos utilizados en el hospital, requieren de una fuente de datos de consumo de antimicrobianos accesible y con el menor riesgo de sesgos, un sistema de identificación único para los fármacos y la adopción de unidades de medida extrapolables. Se propone usar la metodología elaborada por el Centro Colaborador de la Organización Mundial de la Salud para la Metodología Estadística de Medicamentos, basada en la clasificación anatómica, terapéutica y química (ATC) y la dosis diaria definida (DDD). A pesar de sus limitaciones, el empleo de esta metodología para el monitoreo local del consumo de antimicrobianos permite detectar diferencias en los patrones de uso respecto a otras instituciones y, sobre todo, las tendencias dentro de una misma institución. Esto ayudaría a alertar oportunamente sobre posibles problemas en la utilización de antimicrobianos y la necesidad de implementar intervenciones específicas.
Antibiotic use in Mexico is characterized by high levels of consumption, irrational use in primary care services, and high rates of bacterial resistance that cause hospital infections. Changes are needed in the recommended method for reporting antimicrobial drug use, so that quantification can be carried out through drug utilization studies. Such studies, which make it possible to know which drugs are used in hospitals, require an accessible source of data on antimicrobial drug use with the least risk of biases, a single drug identification system, and the adoption of units of measure that can be extrapolated. The methodology developed by the WHO Collaborating Centre for Drug Statistics Methodology, based on the anatomical, therapeutic, and chemical classification (ATC) system and the daily defined dosage (DDD), is proposed. Despite its limitations, employing this methodology to monitor local antimicrobial drug use will make it possible to detect differences in usage patterns among institutions, and, especially, trends within a given institution. This would facilitate timely alerts about potential problems related to the use of antimicrobial drugs and the need for specific interventions.
