Estimating Worldwide Current Antibiotic Usage: Report of Task Force 1
Abstract
Estimates of antibiotic availability from a number of countries throughout the world were developed as an indicator of potential patterns of human antibiotic use. Data were organized by major classes of antibiotics and by some individual products and converted to units of weight and defined daily dosages per 1,000 population per day. Estimates were based either on sales or on production and trade data, including global production of penicillins, cephalosporins, tetracyclines, and erythromycins. The data obtained showed that antibiotic availability can vary widely among countries as well as from year to year in the same country.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
