Impact of implementation of World Health Organization National Action Plans on antibiotic rates: a time series analysis of 37 countries.

ABSTRACT: We conducted an interrupted time series analysis to assess changes in antibiotic sales in 37 countries that implemented National Action Plans (NAPs) between 2013 and 2018. Overall, NAP implementation was not associated with changes in antibiotic sales two years later, with country-specific effects ranging from a 38.3% decrease to 65.3% increase.
