Measurements are one of the most important means of evaluating the quality of antibiotic consumption. This study has evaluated the antibiotic consumption using one-day point prevalence study data collected from different hospitals in Turkey. This research was planned as a multicenter point surveillance study which aimed demonstrating the use of antibiotics among inpatients in Turkey. On the day of surveillance, demographic data from 21,920 inpatients, names of antibiotics used by the inpatients, number of antibiotics approved by infectious disease specialist (IDS), and the length of antibiotic use were recorded. These results showed that 30.3% of patients were using antibiotics and 57.7% of those were IDS-approved. The rate of IDS-approved antibiotic consumption was higher for internal medicine wards and in intensive care units, whereas non-IDS-approved antibiotics were used among inpatients of surgical wards.

测量是评估抗生素消费质量的最重要手段之一。本研究使用从土耳其不同医院收集的一日流行率研究数据评估了抗生素的消费。这项研究计划为一项多中心点监测研究，旨在证明土耳其住院患者中抗生素的使用。在监视当天，记录了21,920名住院患者的人口统计数据，住院患者使用的抗生素名称，传染病专家（IDS）批准的抗生素数量以及抗生素的使用期限。这些结果表明，30.3％的患者使用抗生素，其中57.7％的患者通过了IDS批准。内科病房和重症监护病房的IDS批准的抗生素消费率更高，
