AB  - OBJECTIVES: International Osteoporosis Foundation Quality of Life questionnaire
(QUALEFFO-41) is the specific questionnaire for the postmenopausal women
with osteoporosis and vertebral fractures. Reliability of the questionnaire could
be confirmed by sensitivity and specificity. The objective of this stidy is to test
the sensitivity and specificity of the QUALEFFO-41 questionnaire. METHODS: A
case-control study was conducted during the period of June 2010 - October 2011
to test the main characteristics of the questionnaire. The study included 100
patients with osteoporosis (50 cases with vertebral fractures and 50 controls
without fractures). The questionnaire EQ-5D (with direct-scoring) was used for
comparison of the results with the QUALEFFO-41 (with reverse-scoring). The
study was performed in two medical centers in Serbia. RESULTS: The results of
the ROC curve analysis (between the case and control group of patients)
indicated that the AUC ranges for all five dimensions of the QUALEFFO-41
questionnaire and the total score were 0.62–0.69. The QUALEFFO-41 had a better
prediction of the value of HRQOL of cases compared to the generic questionnaire
EQ-5D (the AUC difference of the total scores was 0.099, p=0.013). Correlations
between the total scores of the QUALEFFO-41 and the EQ-5D health state value,
for both groups, were negative and statistically significant (r=-0.78, p<0.001 and r
= -0.73, p<0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: The QUALEFFO-41 has the ability
to detect the patients with osteoporosis and vertebral fractures among the
osteoporosis patients. This questionnaire is more specific for the osteoporosis
patients with fractures in relation to the EQ-5D questionnaire.

AB  - OBJECTIVE: To analyze trends in prescription habits and ratio-
nal use of antibiotics in three subgroups of children population
and to make evaluation in terms of the most used antibiotics.
METHODS: All information on antibiotics are based on pre-
scriptions that were reimbursed by local Health Insurance Fund
(HIF). We used database from Public pharmacy chain of Bel-
grade, corresponding to population of 330,338 children,
grouped in three following subgroups: A- 0–2 years; B- 3–8
years; C- 9–18 years. The calculations included: monetary cost
for months, quarters and years level (2004–2005) and DDD
methodology (unit: DDD/1000 inhabitants/day). RESULTS:
Expenditure of antibiotics expressed as percentage of all used
antibiotics during two years, shows that a third of the overall
financial value was spent in children population (32.97% in
2004 and 29.42% in 2005). The highest financial use is in group
B (16.21% in 2004 and 14.24% in 2005). The use of antibiotics
evaluated by DDD unit reveals that in Belgrade region children
used erythromycin most of all antibiotics (A-2.86; B-5.48; C-
2.42 in 2004 and for subgroups A-2.38, B-4.21 and C-1.55 in
2005). The biggist increase has been shown in the use of
azithromycin from the value of A-0.13; B-1.74; C-0.85 in 2004
to the value of subgroups A-1.74, B-4.33 and C-2.57 in 2005.
In these periods the consumption of amoxicillin was almost
equal. CONCLUSIONS: Analysis and evaluation of the data has
shown that there had been decrease in expenditure of antibiotics
but consumption (volume rate) is still too high for children pop-
ulation. The biggest volume increase is notified in the use of
azithromycin and it is conducted by drug policy changes (reim-
bursement list). Use and prescription of antibiotics is still very
soft controlled, therefore it is necessary to monitor processes of
drug management in the wider frame.

AB  - OBJECTIVE: Is to analyze trends in prescription habits and
rational use of antibiotics in different population groups, as well
as expenditure data regarding drug policy changes. METHODS:
We used database from Public pharmacy chain—Pharmacy Insti-
tution Belgrade (1.5 M population) with conventional data
grouping and database analysis. All information on antibiotics
was based on prescriptions which were reimbursed by local
Health Insurance Fund (HIF). The calculations included: DDD
methods, monetary cost for months, quarters and years level
(2004–2005). RESULTS: The use of antibiotics expressed in
DDD/1000 inhabitants/day units reveals that in Belgrade popu-
lation the most prescribed antibiotic is amoxicillin during two
years (4.77 in 2004; 4.37 in 2005). The biggest increase has been
shown in the use of azithromycin (from 0.25 in 2004 to 0.75 in
2005). Expenditure of antibiotics was analyzed between six pop-
ulation groups (three children’s, two work ages, one senior) and
expressed as % of all antibiotics used. The highest financial cost
has been found in group of 19–50 years old in both years with
levels 26.11% and 32.27% respectively. The first three anti-
biotics with highest financial share (monetary cost in % of all
antibiotics) are cefalexin 27.46%, erythromycin 17.73%, amox-
icillin 13.57% (2004); cefalexin 21.06%, erythromycin 14.59%,
azithromycin 14.11% (2005). CONCLUSIONS: Analysis and
evaluation of the data has shown that there had been increase in
expenditure of antibiotics in these periods particularly in age
group 19–50. The biggest increase is notified in the use of
azithromycin both in financial values and DDD units, conducted
by drug policy changes (reimbursement list). Monitoring of the
antibiotics use in longer period can provide further useful infor-
mation about rational use of this group of medicines.
