Burden and Risk Factors of Antimicrobial Use in Children Less Than 5 Years of Age with Diarrheal Illness in Rural Bangladesh.
Antimicrobial overuse contributes to antimicrobial resistance. Empiric use of antimicrobials for diarrheal illness is warranted only in a minority of cases, because of its self-limiting nature and multifactorial etiology. This study aims to describe the factors contributing to antimicrobial overuse for diarrheal disease among children less than 5 years of age in rural Bangladesh. A total of 3,570 children less than 5 years of age presenting with diarrhea in a tertiary level hospital were enrolled in the study. The rate of antimicrobial use at home was 1,395 (39%), compared with 2,084 (89%) during a hospital visit. In a multivariate analysis, factors associated with antimicrobial use at home included residence located more than 5 miles from a hospital; use of zinc and oral rehydration salts at home; vomiting; greater than 10 stools per 24 hours; diarrheal duration greater than 3 days; and rotavirus diarrhea ( Topics: Anti-Infective Agents; Azithromycin; Bangladesh; Child, Preschool; Cross-Sectional Studies; Diarrhea; Dysentery, Bacillary; Erythromycin; Feces; Female; Humans; Infant; Male; Multivariate Analysis; Prescription Drug Overuse; Risk Factors; Rotavirus Infections; Rural Population; Serotyping; Shigella; Tertiary Care Centers; Time Factors | 2018 |
