Fig. 2From: Antibiotic prescribing among patients with severe infectious diseases in two private sector hospitals in Central India – a time series analysis over 10 yearsPrescribing of antibiotics among patients with severe infections from 2008 to 2017. Prescribing is quantified and presented in DDDs per 1000 patients (y-axis) each year (x-axis) for selected infectious diseases for each hospital. Trends for each slope, indicating an overall postitive or negative trend of antibiotic prescribing (measured in DDDs per 1000 patients), over the study period are obtained by linear regression analysis and are presented together with P-values in Table 4.Abbreviations: DDD, defined daily dosis; NTH, non-teaching hospital; TH, teaching hospitalBack to article page
