Respiratory antibacterial prescribing in primary care and the COVID-19 pandemic in England, winter season 2020-21

Amelia Andrews et al.

Summary: The study found that during COVID-19, there was a reduction in RTI prescribing in the community, with prescriptions in winter 2020-21 almost halving compared to the previous winter in 2019-20. There was no evidence of a shift in RTI prescribing from primary care to A&E in secondary care. The most likely explanation for this decrease is the decrease in RTIs and presentations to primary care associated with national prevention measures for COVID-19.

Summary: The study examined the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on antibiotic dispensing trends in Australia, finding a significant reduction in antibiotics prescribed for respiratory infections coinciding with the increase in telehealth consultations. The findings suggest the potential to reduce inappropriate prescribing for respiratory viral infections by GPs and specialists in a post-pandemic setting.

Antibiotic prescribing in patients with COVID-19: rapid review and meta-analysis

Bradley J. Langford et al.

Summary: The study estimated that approximately three-quarters of patients with COVID-19 receive antibiotic treatment, which is significantly higher than the estimated prevalence of bacterial co-infection. This suggests a potential for high rates of unnecessary antibiotic use in patients with COVID-19.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Antibiotic Prescribing for Common Infections in The Netherlands: A Primary Care-Based Observational Cohort Study

Alma C. van de Pol et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic led to a decrease in infectious disease consultations and antibiotic prescribing in Dutch primary care, with the largest declines observed for gastrointestinal and skin infections. The number of episodes treated with antibiotics decreased, particularly for respiratory/ear infections. Despite the decrease in antibiotic prescription rates for respiratory/ear infections, there was no evidence of an increase in complications.
