Abstract

Background: Bronchiectasis is a chronic, relatively common disease with an increasing incidence that can lead to many complications and a high risk of mortality. Currently, the inappropriate use of antibiotics is the cause of increasing antibiotic resistance and significantly increasing the cost of medical examination and treatment. Objectives: Study on the use of β-lactam antibiotics in the treatment of bronchiectasis at Vinh Long Tuberculosis and Lung Disease Hospital in the year 2019 – 2020. Materials and Methods: A retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study on bronchiectasis patients treated at Vinh Long Tuberculosis and Lung Disease Hospital from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2020. Characteristics of antibiotic use and evaluation of rational use of βlactams in the treatment of bronchiectasis. Results: The highest rate of the penicillin group was 52.2%, (ampicillin/sulbactam 51,7%), cephem group 42,3% (ceftazidim 50,5%), carbapenem group had the lowest use rate of 5.5% (imipenem + cilastatin 95,2%). The rate of appropriate use in terms of dose, interval, and duration of antibiotic use accounted for a proportion of 77.1%, 60.3%, and 21.8% respectively. Conclusions: To have the most effective treatment and decrease antibiotic resistance, it is important to follow the instruction of the Health Ministry about the duration of antibiotics.
