Résumé

OBJECTIVES: Monitoring antibiotic consumption is a key component to steer antimicrobial stewardship programs, including in nursing homes. We analyzed changes in antibiotic consumption in French nursing homes during 5 years, including the COVID-19 pandemic, to identify potential priorities for improvement. DESIGN: A multicenter survey was conducted between 2018 and 2022. SETTING: The study was conducted across 220 French nursing homes with on-site pharmacies. METHOD: Antibiotic consumption data were collected from pharmacy records and are expressed as defined daily doses per 1,000 resident days. Antibiotic indicators promoted by health authorities were calculated from quantitative data to evaluate the quality of prescribing. RESULTS: Antibiotic consumption significantly decreased between 2018 and 2022, particularly during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, despite a slight increase in 2022. During the study period, the most used antibiotic classes were penicillins (61.9% in 2022) followed by cephalosporins (10.5%), macrolides-lincosamides-streptogramins (7.3%) then fluoroquinolones (7.0%). Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid was the most consumed antibiotic; amoxicillin and ceftriaxone ranked second and third. Azithromycin consumption increased from 2020, as did the indicator regarding broad-spectrum antibiotics. CONCLUSIONS: The decreasing trend in antibiotic use and control of fluoroquinolone use over the study period suggest compliance with antibiotic use guidelines. However, changes in the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and the substantial use of amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, although it is rarely a first-line antibiotic, highlight the need for antimicrobial stewardship activities and the usefulness of antibiotic consumption surveillance to identify priorities.
