Inappropriate antibiotic use leads to increased risk of antibiotic resistance and other adverse outcomes. Theobjectives of the study were to determine the prevalence and characteristics of antibiotic use in Egyptianhospitals to identify opportunities for quality improvement. A point prevalence survey was conducted in 18hospitals in March 2011. A total of 3408 patients were included and 59% received at least one antibiotic, withthe most significant use among persons <12 years and intensive care unit patients (p < 0.05). Third generationcephalosporin were the most commonly prescribed antibiotics (28.7% of prescriptions). Reasons for antibioticuse included treatment of community—(27%) and healthcare-associated infections (11%) and surgical (39%)and medical (23%) prophylaxis. Among surgical prophylaxis recipients, only 28% of evaluable cases receivedthe first dose within two hours before incision and only 25% of cases received surgical prophylaxis for <24 h.The prevalence of antibiotic use in Egyptian hospitals was high with obvious targets for antimicrobialstewardship activities including provision of antibiotic prescription guidelines and optimization of surgical andmedical prophylaxis practices.
