- W1986337459 abstract "Abstract Objective (1) To establish the pattern of antibiotic use in elderly hospital inpatients, using data to draw up antibiotic treatment guidelines; (2) To assess the short-term and longer-term impact of the guidelines on antibiotic use and their acceptability to medical staff. Method Antibiotic use was assessed in relation to suitability for site and severity of infection, appropriateness of drug choice, outcome of therapy and cost, before, immediately after and 10 months after guideline introduction. Acceptability to medical staff was gauged through a questionnaire. Setting Geriatric hospital inpatients in long-stay, assessment and GP-supervised wards in the Grampian region of Scotland (phase 1: 324 patients; phase 2: 302 patients; phase 3: 263 patients). Key findings The antibiotic prescribed was appropriate for site and severity of infection in 92 per cent of patients in phase 1, but was a policy drug in only 56 per cent. After guideline introduction, adherence to policy did not improve, but use of non-policy drugs without identified reason fell from 24 per cent in phase 1 to 13 per cent in phase 3. Adjustment of antibiotic dose for renal function increased from 73 per cent in phase 1 to 86 per cent in phase 3. Duration of treatment for a single infection was significantly reduced in phase 3, but outcome and cost were unchanged after guideline introduction. Medical staff were supportive of the guidelines and felt they had changed their prescribing practices. Conclusion Antibiotic treatment guidelines did not have a major impact on antibiotic use, although some positive trends were observed. New ways of promoting adherence to guidelines need to be explored." @default.
