A Retrospective Surveillance of the Antibiotics Prophylactic Use of Surgical Procedures in Private Hospitals in Indonesia.

ABSTRACT: Background: According to international guidelines, prophylactic antibiotics in elective surgery should be given as a single dose 30 to 60 minutes before the operation is conducted. Postoperative administration of antibiotics should be discontinued 24 hours after surgery to minimize bacterial resistance and to keep control over hospitalization costs. There is a lack of data on the actual antibiotic use around surgical procedures in Indonesia. Objective: This retrospective surveillance study aimed to obtain defined daily doses (DDD) and DDDs per 100 bed days (DDD-100BD) for prophylactically used antibiotics in two private hospitals in Surabaya, East Java. These hospitals are considered to be representative for the current situation in Indonesia. Method: Data from a total of 693 patients over a nearly 1-year period (2016) were collected and evaluated. Results: The overall DDD per patient was 1.5 for hospital A and 1.7 for hospital B. The overall DDD-100BD was 30 for hospital B. Of the 24 antibiotics given prophylactically, ceftriaxone was the most commonly used in both hospitals. Conclusion: There was a clear discrepancy between daily practice in both hospitals and the recommendations in the guidelines. This study shows that better adherence to antibiotic stewardship is needed in Indonesia. Substantial improvements need to be made toward guided precision therapy regarding quantity (dose and frequency), route of administration (prolonged intravenous), and choice of the type of antibiotic.

Project description:BackgroundDengue virus infection (DVI) among children is a leading cause of hospitalization in endemic areas. Hospitalized patients are at risk of receiving unnecessary antibiotics.MethodsA retrospective medical review analysis study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence, indication, and choice of antibiotics given to hospitalized patients less than 15 years of age with DVI in two different hospital settings (teaching and private hospitals) in the Municipality of Bandung. Epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory data were obtained using a pre-tested standardized questionnaire from patients' medical records admitted from January 1 to December 31, 2015.ResultsThere were 537 (17.5%) out of 3078 cases who received antibiotics. Among 176 cases admitted to the teaching hospitals, presumed bacterial upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) and typhoid fever were found in 1 (0.6%) case and 6 (0.3%) cases. In private hospitals among 2902 cases, presumed bacterial URTI was found in 324 (11.2%) cases, typhoid fever in 188 (6.5%) cases and urinary tract infection (UTI) in 18 (0.6%) cases. The prevalence of URTI and typhoid fever were significantly lower in the teaching hospitals compared to the private hospitals (p<0.0001 and p<0.05 respectively). The diagnosis of URTI in both teaching and private hospitals was merely based on clinical findings. Amoxicillin was given to 1 patient in the teaching hospitals; the 3rd generation of cephalosporins, mostly intravenous, were given in 247 (67%) cases in private hospitals. The diagnosis of typhoid fever in the teaching hospitals was based on culture in 1 (16.7%) and reactive IgM anti-Salmonella in 5 (83.3%) cases while in the private hospitals, they were based on reactive IgM anti-Salmonella in 13 (6.5%) cases, single Widal test in 61 (32.5%), and without laboratory confirmation in 114 (60.6%) cases. Most of the cases in both hospital settings were treated mostly with 3rd generation cephalosporin. The diagnosis of UTI was based on positive leucocyte esterase and nitrite in urine dipstick test in 7 (38.9%) and leucocyturia alone in 11 (61.1%) cases and was treated with 3rd generation in 15 (83.3%) cases, amoxicillin, chloramphenicol and clarithromycin, each in 1 (5.6%) case.ConclusionThe use of antibiotics in private hospitals was inappropriate in most cases while the use of antibiotics in the teaching hospital was more accountable. This study indicated that interventions, such as the implementation of the antibiotics stewardship program, are needed especially in private hospitals to reduce inappropriate use of antibiotics.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:To examine the rate of surgical site infection according to the choice of antibiotics in women undergoing cesarean delivery. METHODS:We conducted a retrospective cohort study of women undergoing cesarean delivery (labored, unlabored, and scheduled) from 2012 to 2017. Women with chorioamnionitis and those who did not receive any antibiotics were excluded. Our primary outcome was defined a priori as a composite of cellulitis, endometritis, deep wound infection, abdominopelvic abscess, and sepsis. Outcomes were examined according to the choice of antibiotics: cefazolin, a standard alternative (both clindamycin and gentamicin), and inappropriate alternatives (such as clindamycin only). A multivariable logistic regression model was used to calculate the propensity score for each observation, which was the probability of receiving a particular antibiotic regimen. The propensity score-adjusted logistic regression models were conducted to calculate adjusted odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs. Firth's penalized likelihood approach was applied to address issues of rare events. RESULTS:Among 6,584 selected women, 6,163 (93.6%), 274 (4.2%), and 147 (2.2%) received cefazolin, a standard alternative, and inappropriate alternatives, respectively. Use of standard alternative antibiotics compared with cefazolin was not associated with increased odds of the primary outcome (crude OR 1.50 [0.92-2.46]; adjusted OR 1.63 [0.97-2.60]) but was associated with increased odds of cellulitis (crude OR 2.07 [1.16-3.70]; adjusted OR 1.93 [1.03-3.31]). Use of inappropriate alternative antibiotics compared with cefazolin was associated with increased odds of the primary outcome (crude OR 4.37 [2.80-6.83]; adjusted OR 4.13 [2.59-6.36]) as well as some components of the composite outcome such as endometritis before discharge (crude OR 6.85 [3.94-11.90]; adjusted OR 6.68 [3.69-11.44]) and cellulitis (crude OR 3.36 [1.78-6.34]; adjusted OR 3.23 [1.63-5.81]). CONCLUSION:Both standard alternative and inappropriate alternatives were associated with increased odds of surgical site infections compared with cefazolin.

Project description:Importance:Although overall antibiotic use among dermatologists is decreasing, there has been an increase in use associated with dermatologic procedures during the past decade. This higher antibiotic use may increase antibiotic-associated adverse events and promote the development of antibiotic resistance. Objective:To characterize antibiotic use associated with dermatologic procedures, including geographic variation. Design, Setting, and Participants:Using Optum Clinformatics DataMart deidentified commercial claims data, we performed a repeated cross-sectional analysis of antibiotic prescribing by dermatologists from 2008 to 2016. Dermatology clinicians were identified by their National Uniform Claim Committee taxonomy codes, encounters for surgical procedures were identified by Common Procedure Terminology codes, and courses of oral antibiotics prescribed by these clinicians were identified by their National Drug Codes. Exposures:Claims for oral antibiotic prescriptions associated with encounters with dermatologists associated with dermatologic procedures. Main Outcomes and Measures:Frequency of antibiotic prescribing and associated procedures. Poisson regression models were used to assess for changes in the frequency of antibiotic prescribing over time. Results:Between 2008 and 2016, among 1 934 633 encounters (1 128 244 unique patients, 854 072 [44.1%] were women and the median [interquartile range] age was 66 [52-76] years) for dermatologic procedures, oral antibiotic prescribing associated with benign excisions increased from 2.9% to 4.4% of visits (52.5% relative change; incidence rate ratio [IRR], 1.04; 95% CI, 1.03-1.04), antibiotic prescribing associated with malignant excisions increased from 4.2% to 6.3% of visits (49.5% relative change; IRR, 1.06; 95% CI, 1.05-1.06), and antibiotic prescribing associated with Mohs surgery increased from 9.9% to 13.8% of visits (39.7% relative change; IRR, 1.04; 95% CI, 1.03-1.04). There was greater than 2-fold variation in antibiotic prescribing rates across geographic census divisions. If higher prescribing divisions were to develop antibiotic prescribing rates similar to lower prescribing divisions, antibiotic use could be decreased by over 50%. Conclusions and Relevance:Oral antibiotic prescribing by dermatologists associated with benign excisions, malignant excisions, and Mohs surgery is increasing over the past decade and there is substantial geographic variation. These findings highlight that there may be opportunities to optimize antibiotic use associated with dermatologic procedures.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis (SAP) is a leading indication for antibiotic use in the hospital setting, with demonstrated high rates of inappropriateness. Decision-making for SAP is complex and multifactorial. A greater understanding of these factors is needed to inform the design of targeted antimicrobial stewardship interventions and strategies to support the optimization of SAP and its impacts on patient care. METHODS:A qualitative case study exploring the phenomenon of SAP decision-making. Focus groups were conducted with surgeons, anaesthetists, theatre nurses and pharmacists across one private and two public hospitals in Australia. Thematic analysis was guided by the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and the Capabilities, Opportunities, Motivators-Behaviour (COM-B) model. RESULTS:Fourteen focus groups and one paired interview were completed. Ten of the fourteen TDF domains were identified as relevant. Thematic analysis revealed six significant themes mapped to the COM-B model, and subthemes mapped to the relevant TDF domains in a combined framework. Key themes identified were: 1) Low priority for surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis prescribing skills; 2) Prescriber autonomy takes precedence over guideline compliance; 3) Social codes of prescribing reinforce established practices; 4) Need for improved communication, documentation and collection of data for action; 5) Fears and perceptions of risk hinder appropriate SAP prescribing; and 6) Lack of clarity regarding roles and accountability. CONCLUSIONS:SAP prescribing is a complex process that involves multiple professions across the pre-, intra- and post-operative surgical settings. The utilisation of behaviour change frameworks to identify barriers and enablers to optimal SAP prescribing supports future development of theory-informed antimicrobial stewardship interventions. Interventions should aim to increase surgeon engagement, enhance the prioritisation of and accountability for SAP, and address the underlying social factors involved in SAP decision-making, such as professional hierarchy and varied perceptions or risks and fears.
