Appropriateness of outpatient antibiotic prescribing among privately insured US patients: ICD-10-CM based cross sectional study | The BMJ





Nearly one quarter of 15.5 million antibiotic prescriptions filled in 2016 in a sample of children and adults under age 65 with private health insurance were unnecessary, according to a new AHRQ study. The study found a large number of antibiotic prescriptions were written for conditions which an antibiotic should never be used. Findings were published in BMJ on January 19 and provide the most comprehensive look to date of inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics among people with private, employer-sponsored insurance.
