Evaluation of the effect of refined management of prospective prescription review rules for antimicrobial agents in an outpatient setting of a county-level hospital in China.

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
objectiveTo explore the impact of implementing a refined management system for prospective prescription review and to provide evidence for improving the rational use of antibiotics in county-level hospitals.
methodsUsing the prospective prescription review system at Affiliated Yangming Hospital of Ningbo University, China, we performed a refined management of the review rules targeting major issues identified in outpatient antibiotic prescriptions. A comparative analysis was conducted to evaluate the rationality of prescriptions before and after the implementation of this refined management.
resultsComparison of prescription data before and after the refined management showed that the rate of irrational outpatient antibiotic prescriptions decreased from 20.46% to 7.80%. Specifically, the proportion of prescriptions with inappropriate indications decreased from 2.65% to 0.67%. The rate of prescriptions with an inappropriate frequency of administration or unsuitable solvent decreased from 4.63% to 0.79%. Prescriptions with an inappropriate dosage or route decreased from 8.14% to 2.09%. Irrational prescriptions for special populations decreased from 1.36% to 1.21%, and those involving potential drug-drug interactions decreased from 3.68% to 3.03%.
conclusionThe refined management of prospective antibiotic prescription review rules in the outpatient department of this county-level hospital significantly reduced the rate of irrational prescriptions. This strategy is worthy of promotion and application in other similar hospitals.
