Abstract

This study was performed to demonstrate the effects of infectious disease consultations on the incidence and resistance rates of nosocomial infection agents, antibiotic use, resistance and cost. The consultation services, which were carried out by the specialists of infectious diseases at Gülhane Military Medical Academy and Ankara Military Hospital in Ankara, between 2003 and 2005 were included in study prospectively and retrospectively, respectively. The changes in resistance rates of frequently observed nosocomial infection agents isolated from patients hospitalized at the Education Hospital of Gülhane Military Medical Academy against some antibiotics were studied, and the cost was calculated using the data of the Hospital Infection Control Committee. Results of the study have revealed that demand of infectious diseases consultation is increasing gradually, and resistance rates in microorganisms have become prone to decline because of the resultant appropriate use of the antibiotics.

Özet

Bu çalışma enfeksiyon hastalıkları uzmanı konsültasyonlarının, hastane enfeksiyonu ajanlarının direnç oranları, görülme sıklığı, antibiyotik kullanımı ve maliyeti üzerine etkilerini ortaya koymak amacıyla yapıldı. GATA Eğitim Hastanesi ve Ankara Asker Hastanesinde enfeksiyon hastalıkları uzmanları tarafından, 2003 ile 2005 tarihleri arasındaki dönemde yapılmış olan konsültasyonlar GATA Eğitim Hastanesinde prospektif, Ankara Asker Hastanesinde retrospektif olarak irdelenmiştir. GATA Eğitim Hastanesinde yatan hastaların kültürlerinden izole edilen ve sık görülen hastane enfeksiyon etkenlerinin, bazı antibiyotiklere karşı olan direnç oranlarındaki değişiklikler araştırılmış ve hastane enfeksiyon kontrol komitesi verileri kullanılarak maliyet hesaplanmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda, enfeksiyon hastalıkları konsültasyon istek oranlarının giderek arttığı ve böylece uygun antibiyotik kullanımı sayesinde mikroorganizmalardaki direnç oranlarının genel olarak düşme eğilimine girdiği gözlenmiştir.
