Overview

Implementation of an antimicrobial stewardship program shows a stable rejection rate of restricted antibiotics, suggesting a need for ongoing evaluation.

Key Points

  • The monthly rejection rate of restricted antibiotics ranged from 3.65% to 4.68%, highlighting early program effectiveness.
  • Among prolonged prescriptions, 62.1% received antimicrobial stewardship intervention, showing the program's engagement.
  • This retrospective analysis focused on antibiotic prescribing practices at a single tertiary hospital in South Korea.
  • The findings suggest improved antibiotic oversight, but longer-term studies are necessary to assess sustained impacts.
