Knowledge, Attitudes And Practices Regarding The Use Of Antibiotics. Study On The General Population Of Mureş County, Romania.
Article in Infection and drug resistance, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 26 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCurrently, antibiotic resistance is a complex issue that affects the whole of society. This resistance is influenced by the irrational and excessive use of antibiotics by the general population. This study aimed to gather information about the knowledge, attitudes and behaviours regarding the issues related to antibiotic consumption in the general population of Mureș County in the Central Region of Romania.
methodsThis was a cross-sectional study using a questionnaire as its research instrument, which consisted of 33 questions analysing the respondents' attitude and their knowledge about the use of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance.
resultsA total of 996 respondents were eligible for the study. Of the total respondents, 62.65% (624 respondents) considered that antibiotics are used to treat a bacterial infection and 61.45% (612 respondents) used an antibiotic at least once in the previous year, with a distribution of 68.7% and 56.8% of the respondents from rural and urban areas, respectively. Antibiotics were taken by 10.34% of the respondents, following recommendations from family/friends, and 22.9% used antibiotics left over from their last prescription. Of those who consumed antibiotics (868 respondents), 65.9% consulted their physician every time before taking the medication. Furthermore, 82.3% of the total of 996 respondents considered that the use of non-prescription antibiotics has a negative effect, and 85.14% had heard about the antibiotic resistance of bacteria.
conclusionThe majority of respondents had adequate knowledge of antibiotics and their use and were aware of the fact that non-prescription antibiotics can have repercussions both on them as individuals and on the population as a whole.
