Abstract
Background: Hospitals use the World Health Organization Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (WHO/ATC) system to monitor the usage of antibacterials. A few studies from Europe point out that the use of Defined Daily Dose(DDD) overestimates approximately 30~40% of volume and density used than Prescribed Daily Dose(PDD). We use these two.. The access to the whole abstract and if available the presentation file is available to FIP members and to congress participants of that specific congress.
