Abstract

Objective: Assessing the situation of drug use in outpatient treatment through some indicators of drug use. Subjects and methods: The study was carried out by cross-sectional descriptive method with 400 medical records. Results: The sex ratio of using corticosteroids during treatment was 48% in men and 52% in women. The age group older than or equal to 60 years old (68.75%) accounted for the highest proportion, the second age group from 18-59 years old accounted for 30%. The mean hospital stay of patients was 6 ± 2.73 days. Methylprednisolone had the highest utilization rate (79.50%). The rate of using corticosteroids by injection had the highest rate (64.75%). The rate of use for anti-inflammatory purposes accounted for the majority of the total medical records surveyed (60.5%). The duration of corticosteroid treatment from 1 to 4 days is the highest rate (54.75%), the lowest is greater than 14 days, accounting for 5.5%. The percentage of patients with indications for corticosteroids not combined with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs accounted for the majority (86%). The rate of serious drug interactions occurring between corticosteroids and other drugs (10.50%). Conclusion: The study is a reference for medical staff and leaders on the situation of drug prescribing in outpatient treatment at a Grade III medical facility.
