Abstract

Background. High rates of antibiotic prescribing to children contribute to antibiotic resistance in the community. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in collaboration with other national and state level organizations, have actively promoted more judicious prescribing for children. Objective. We sought to assess changes in the rate of antibiotic prescribing from 1996-2000 in 9 US health plans, patterns of diagnosis and treatment responsible for these trends, and changes in the use of first-line antimicrobial agents. Design/Methods. We analyzed claims data for dispensed medications and physician visits from 9 health plans. Each provided data on 25000 children aged 3 months to Results. From 1996-2000, antibiotic rates for children 3 months to Conclusions. Antibiotic prescribing decreased significantly between 1996 and 2000, concurrent with decreased frequency of diagnosis of potential bacterial infections, especially otitis media. Attention by public health and professional organizations and the news media to antibiotic resistance may have contributed to changes in diagnostic thresholds, resulting in more judicious prescribing. Pediatrics 2003;112:620-627; antibiotics, otitis media, upper respiratory infection., Antibiotic resistance is considered a public health crisis in the United States. (1-3) National estimates of nonsusceptibility to penicillin of Streptococcus pneumoniae, for example, increased from 16% in 1994 (4) [...]
