Abstract :

Irrational drug therapy remains a global phenomenon. The mean number of drugs per prescription should be as low as possible since higher figure always leads to increased risk of drug interaction, development of bacterial resistance, affect patient compliance and increases costs. The aim of present study is to reduce patient stay in inpatient setting. This may be studied by involving the factor like Drug interaction, Percentage of amount spent on anti-microbial (cost of therapy). This study will help for promoting the rational use of antimicrobials along with the reduction in hospital stay of the patient. The study was done in three wards of pediatric of MMIMSR.200 cases of anemia and 100 cases of UTI were collected during the pre intervention and post intervention studies.P1 was placed as a control while wards. P2 and P3 were placed as tests during the adherence study. The percentage of anemic patient at the time of admission in both the categories was severe 30% and mild to moderate was 70% during pre intervention but in post intervention it was found 22% and 82% respectively. 72% patient having mild to moderate anemia in pre intervention study. While it was 82.88% in post intervention studies. It is clear that the maximum percentages of the patient are those suffering from mild to moderate anemia. Patients when they were classified on the basis of associated infection it was found that 3.33% and 31.88% had infection during pre-Intervention and Post-Intervention studies. While for mild to moderate it was found 85.70% and 85.36% in pre-Intervention and Post-Intervention studies respectively.
