The maps displayed here present the results from
Browne AJ et al 2021 Global antibiotic consumption and usage in humans, 2000 to 2018: a spatial modelling study
Total antibiotic consumption
displays maps of the rate of total antibiotic consumption in each country,
expressed as defined daily doses per 1,000 population per day (DDD/1,000/day).
Hovering over the relevant country will display the modelled estimates of antibiotic
consumption with the accompanying uncertainty intervals.
Using the slider will display the estimated rates of antibiotic consumption for each year, from 2000 to 2018.
Antibiotic usage in children
displays the caregiver reported proportion of children under five years old,
with symptoms of lower respiratory tract infection (LRI), who received antibiotics for this illness.
Estimates are for low- and middle-income countries only.
Modelled estimates are displayed at the national level with uncertainty
intervals and zooming into the map will show estimates for administrative level one locations (states).
Using the slider will display the estimated antibiotic usage for each year, from 2000 to 2018.
Data sources
for modelled estimates of total antibiotic consumption:
IQVIA MIDASTM database,
European Center for Disease Control,
World Health Organization,
and published literature. Data sources for modelled estimates of antibiotic usage in children under 5 years old:
Demographic Health Surveys,
Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys.
All are described in detail in Browne AJ et al.
