- W4320881072 abstract "Background. Third-generation cephalosporins (3GC) are among the most prescribed antibiotics worldwide. Antibiotic resistance, usually due to misuse and overuse, is a feared complication of public health concern. However, there are limited data in Cameroon concerning the knowledge and use of 3GC in our health services. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and use of 3GC among medical doctors in Cameroon and to generate baseline information for a wider scale research and policy implementation. Methods. This study was a cross-sectional study conducted among medical doctors practicing in Cameroon in general. Convenience sampling was used and the data were collected from both the online questionnaire and the review of files of patients admitted and discharged within the month of April 2021 and analysed with the use of IBM SPSS v25. Results and Discussion. A total of 52 respondents from the online questionnaire and 31 reviewed files were retained. Of the respondents, 27% were female and 73% were male. The mean age and years of experience were 29.6 ± 2.9 and 3.6 ± 2.1 years, respectively. Only 32.7% had correct knowledge of the number of generations of cephalosporins, and 48.1% had knowledge of the antimicrobial target. All medical doctors (MD) identified ceftriaxone as a 3GC, and it was the most commonly prescribed 3GC (71%). Most of the MD considered 3GC to be an efficient antibiotic. Just over half (54.7%) knew the correct posology of ceftriaxone. Only 17% and 9.4% knew the right posology for cefotaxime and ceftazidime, respectively, for the management of early-onset neonatal infection (EONNI). The misuse of 3GC was mostly attributed to nurses, MD, and poor institutional policies. Conclusion. There is average knowledge on 3GC among MD, with ceftriaxone being the most widely known and prescribed. Misuse is common among nurses and doctors. Poor institutional policies and limited laboratory capacities are to be blamed." @default.
