1 Longitudinal regional analyses of an1bio1c consump1on in statutory health care insured pa1ents in Germany since 2008 Jörg Bätzing- Feigenbaum - Maike Schulz - Mandy Schulz - Jana Gisbert Miralles - Dominik Graf von S1llfried Wennberg Interna1onal Collabora1ve (WIC) Research Mee1ng London - September 2-4, 2015 Zentralinstitut für die Kassenärztliche Versorgung in Deutschland

2 Background Ø Increasing bacterial resistance against an1bio1c drugs is a major Public Health concern worldwide Ø In 2008 the Federal Government implemented a na1onal German An1bio1c Resistance Strategy ( Deutsche An1bio1ka- Resistenzstrategie, DART) Ø DART: latest 5- year- plan Update in 2013 Ø One priority of DART is: monitoring of an1bio1c consump1on in Germany Ø Surveillance of an1bio1c consump1on up to now is focusing on the hospital sector (Robert Koch- Ins1tute, Berlin) SEITE 2 von 24

3 An1bio1c consump1on in Europe (EU, Iceland, Norway) 2012 European Centre for Disease Preven1on and Control (ECDC). Surveillance of an1- microbial consump1on in Europe ECDC. Stockholm 2014 SEITE 3 von 24

5 Why should we look at ambulatory (outpa1ent) an1bio1c prescrip1on data in Germany? Ø 85% of all an1bio1cs used in the ambulatory health care sector, however, surveillance s1ll focusing on hospital data Ø Above- average use of cephalosporins in Germany Ø Increasing role of cephalosporins in the last decade Ø S1ll important role of fluorchinolones SEITE 5 von 24

6 Main problems due to cephalosporins and fluorchinolones Ø Both, cephalosporins and fluorchinolones are suspected to promote bacterial resistance par1cularly in gram- nega1ve bacteria ( ESBL proper1es ) Ø Fluorchinolones are suspected to result more oden than other an1bacterials in intes1nal superinfec1on with C. difficile responsible for increased risk of severe disease and mortal1ty in elderly pa1ents Ø Use as second- line an1bio1cs SEITE 6 von 24

21 Limita1ons Ø Drug prescrip1on data up to now only available on regional level ( federal state ), not on District level Ø % statutory care insurees underlies a broad range of varia1on on regional and District levels between ~ 70 and ~ 97% of the total popula1on Ø An1bio1c prescrip1ons from den1sts are not included (es1mated ~ 10% of all an1bio1cs prescribed na1onwide) Ø Prescrip1on data only include those physicians prescrip1ons which have been claimed by the pa1ents; furthermore, we do not know, if pa1ents actually took their medica1on SEITE 21 von 24

22 Conclusions Ø Claims data may contribute with solid descrip1ve and analy1cal results to the surveillance of an1bio1c prescrip1ons and consump1on in ambulatory health care in Germany Ø The data can reasonably complement na1onal surveillance data Ø Results show regional varia1on and varia1on by age groups poin1ng to regions of best prac1ce Ø Declining trends of general an1bio1c prescrip1ons in children and young adults are significant in all German regions SEITE 22 von 24

23 Conclusions Ø Significant trends call for a na1onwide interven1on to reduce cephalosprin prescrip1ons in the future Ø Declining Fluorchinolone prescrip1ons in the elderly though mostly not significant reveal further need for ac1on Ø Best way of communica1on of the results to the prescribing physicians and how to get them on board is s1ll an unsolved challenge for SEITE 23 von 24
