Abstract
Los indicadores de la calidad de la prescripción de grado potencial de uso (IGPU) se definen como la proporción que representa el consumo de determinados principios activos frente al consumo total de su categoría anatómica terapéutica. En los últimos años, los IGPU que se han ido definiendo en nuestro país utilizan la dosis diaria definida (DDD) como unidad de medida. Y aunque la DDD no es necesariamente igual a la dosis terapéutica equivalente (DTE), se ha argumentado que es una unidad de medida estándar y, por tanto, válida. Esto podría no ser correcto, ya que las relaciones entre DTE y DDD son distintas en los diferentes fármacos, incluso dentro de la misma categoría anatómica terapéutica. Por ello, la utilización de las DDD en los IGPU puede llevar a incentivar o desincentivar la prescripción de un fármaco en función de su relación DTE/DDD
Quality prescription indicators of use potential level (UPLI) are defined as the proportion that represents consumption of specific active principles as opposed to the total consumption of the anatomical therapeutic category. The UPLIs that have gradually been defined in Spain employ the defined daily dose (DDD) as the unit of measurement. Although the DDD is not necessarily the same as the therapeutic equivalent dose (TED), some authors have argued that the DDD is a standard unit of measurement and is therefore valid. However, this view may not be correct, given that the relationships between the TED and the DDD differ, depending on the drug, even within the same anatomical therapeutic category. Therefore, the use of DDDs in UPLI s may lead to prescription of a medicine being encouraged or discouraged depending on its TED/DDD ratio
