The impact of antibiotic stewardship interventions and patient related factors on antibiotic prescribing in a vascular surgical department
© 2023. The Author(s)..
PURPOSE: The development of guidelines tailored to the departments' needs and counselling during ward rounds are important antibiotic stewardship (AS) strategies. The aim was to analyse the impact of AS ward rounds and institutional guidelines as well as patient-related factors on antibiotic use in vascular surgical patients.
METHODS: A retrospective prescribing-analysis of 3 months (P1, P2) before and after implementing weekly AS ward rounds and antimicrobial treatment guidelines was performed. Choice of systemic antibiotics, days of antibiotic therapy and clinical data were obtained from electronic patient records.
RESULTS: During P2, the overall antibiotic consumption as well as the use of last-resort compounds like linezolid and fluoroquinolones decreased distinctly (overall: 47.0 days of therapy (DOT)/100 patient days (PD) vs. 35.3 DOT/100PD, linezolid: 3.7 DOT/100PD vs. 1.0 DOT/100PD, fluoroquinolones: 7.0 DOT/100PD vs. 3.2 DOT/100PD) while narrow-spectrum beta-lactams increased by 48.4%. Courses of antibiotics were de-escalated more often during P2 (30.5% vs. 12.1%, p = 0.011). Only in P2, an antibiotic therapy was initiated in patients suffering from more comorbidities (i.e. higher Charlson Comorbidity Index) more frequently. Other patient factors had no distinct impact on antibiotic prescribing.
CONCLUSION: Weekly AS ward rounds improved adherence to institutional antibiotic treatment guidelines and antibiotic prescribing in vascular surgical patients. Clear patient-related determinants affecting choice of antibiotic therapies could not be identified.
