Description
Summary:A comprehensive study for assessment the appointments rationality for children with meningococcal infectious (MI) in Ukraine in real clinical practice has been conducted. The doctor's appointment sheets from 184 inpatients medical cards have been processed by the integral ABC / VEN / frequency analysis. In average, children were in the hospital (14±7) bed-days, they were granted 2908 appointments of 191 drugs by the INN. It has been established that medicine for MI etiotropic therapy took the third place in the appointments frequency. At the same time, the ABC / VEN-analysis results revealed a rational approach to pharmacotherapy.The total treatment cost was estimated at USD 25,173.59 (for one child - USD 136.81).Since currently in Ukraine inpatient children treatment is mainly provided by parents, further medical prescriptions improvement is needed in order to increase the efficiency and minimize the childrenMI therapy cost.
