Antibiotic Consumption and Resistance Patterns Among Neonates Over 10 Years

A 10-year retrospective study from a tertiary care hospital includes data on 447 neonates. It evaluates antibiotic consumption using defined daily dose (DDD) and days of therapy (DOT) metrics and identifies resistance patterns for 21 microorganisms. The dataset was authored by Wiona Denita Moras and last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze correlations between antibiotic consumption and resistance patterns based on DDD and DOT metrics
• Identify prevalent multidrug-resistant organisms among neonates based on the 21 isolated microorganisms
• Compare resistance rates across antibiotic classes such as aminoglycosides, penicillin, and cephalosporins

Strengths

• Contains specific consumption metrics (DDD and DOT) for antibiotic classes
• Reports on 447 patient cases over a 10-year period
• Identifies 21 microorganisms and their resistance status, including 16 multidrug-resistant isolates

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data is from a single tertiary care hospital, which may limit generalizability
