Determinants and patterns of antibiotic consumption for children under five in Nepal: analysis and modelling of Demographic Health Survey data from 2006 to 2016

Abstract

Understanding factors associated with antibiotic use will help to inform interventions to reduce inappropriate antibiotic use whilst ensuring access to those who need them.
