Filter by:Antibiotic resistant infections are expected to cause 10 million deaths worldwide by 2050, and exceed cancer deaths. Reducing antibiotic use can reduce resistance levels. Hospitals have now developed Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs that promote better use of antibiotics. However, 80% of antibiotics are prescribed in the community where stewardship programs do not exist. Antibiotics are often prescribed for coughs and colds, where it can be difficult to tell if these are cases of pneumonia or strep throat. Doctors may prescribe antibiotics `just in case' and patients may request antibiotics hoping to feel better faster. To help family doctors and patients, a team of infectious disease specialists, researchers and community family physicians have collaboratively developed an Antimicrobial Stewardship Program (ASP) for use in the community. Testing in 3 family medicine clinics is showing reduced antibiotic use. What is needed is a strategy to `scale' up this program province wide to reduce antibiotic use enough to reduce resistance levels, but how to do this is not known. Working with a community clinic network, this project will test two implementation strategies to inform how best to implement a Community-Based ASP.
Although Cystitis includes a clinical syndrome characterized by various combinations of dysuria (painful urination), frequency, urgency, gross haematuria, lower back and/or abdominal/suprapubic discomfort with pyuria and bacteriuria. An acute uncomplicated UTI (referred to as cystitis) has been focused microorganisms and drug-resistance. There has been little research on Clinical aspects on cystitis treatment such as bothersomeness, or the impact of symptoms on patients' quality of life (QoL). The investigators want to study for Assessment of UTI Symptoms and Quality of Life According to Antibiotics Treatment(Ciprobay) in Acute Uncomplicated Cystitis in Korean Women.
