To describe antibacterial prescribing patterns in outpatients aged 0-5 years from 2007 to 2013 in the Emilia-Romagna region, assessing sex- and age-specific consumption over time.All children aged 0-5 years resident in the Emilia-Romagna region who received To assess 8-year antibiotic consumption and expenditure in all of the hospitals of Emilia Romagna. The analysis was based on the pharmacy records of each hospital. Antibiotic drug consumption was expressed as DDDs per 100 bed-days used (BDU) and data were analyzed according to ATC classification and
BACKGROUND
Misuse of antimicrobial agents in hospitals may cause the emergence of resistant microorganisms, as well as increased costs and unnecessary exposure of patients to drugs. We investigated the pattern of antibiotic consumption in 2002-04 in a sample of Italian hospitals, and compared this
OBJECTIVE
Defined daily doses (DDD) are widely used as a unit to measure drug use in hospital and community settings. However, discrepancies exist between DDD and actual prescribed daily dose (PDD). The present study aims at estimating an alternative PDD (PDD-proxy) to calculate rates of systemic
Background: Antimicrobials resistance (AMR) is an increasingly serious global health problem, both in term of clinical implications and economic expenditure. In Italy, there are differences in prescribing rates between regions. We aimed to compare these differences in two Italian provinces:
Neonatal bacterial meningitis (NM) continues to be a serious disease with an unchanging rate of adverse outcome of 20-60%, despite a worldwide decline in mortality. The 3 major pathogens in developed countries are: Group B streptococcus, gram negative rods and Lysteria monocytogenes. Signs and

BACKGROUND
Helicobacter pylori, a gram negative microaerophilic bacterium is a major etiological agent in duodenal, peptic and gastric ulcers. The growing problem of antibiotic resistance by the organism demands the search for novel compounds from plant based sources.

The present study is
OBJECTIVE
To analyse and compare with one another and with other antibacterial drugs the adverse drug reactions (ADRs) of the different fluoroquinolones currently used in Italy, spontaneously reported from doctors in three northern Italian regions.
METHODS
The data on fluoroquinolones and other
OBJECTIVE
To identify the number of cases of anaphylaxis reported in association with different classes of drugs and compare it with other reports contained in the same database.
METHODS
The data were obtained from a database containing all of the spontaneous reports of adverse drug reactions (ADRs)
