• Description:
  Systemic oral antibiotics were extracted from the IQVIA Xponent database. IQVIA captured an estimated 92% of outpatient prescriptions dispensed* from retail pharmacies for any medication nationally, reconciled them to wholesale deliveries to these pharmacies, and projected to 100% coverage. These data represent all outpatient antibiotic prescriptions from community pharmacies from all payers but exclude federal facilities. Provider specialties are taken from the American Medical Association (AMA) self-designated practice specialties, DEA and NPI sources and categorized into one of 17 groups. Population data were obtained from the U.S. Census bridging files.Citation: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Outpatient antibiotic prescriptions — United States, 2020
