Evaluating antibiotic use patterns and compliance in Shanxi province hospitals: a 7-year retrospective study of national clinical improvement system data (2015–2021)
Antibiotic consumption in inpatients decreased during the study period. However, we need to take more measures to reduce patients undergoing clean surgical procedures with prophylactic antibiotic prescriptions and inpatients with special-grade antibiotic prescriptions. Antibiotic use was associated with various hospital characteristics and geographic locations. While the provincial efforts in controlling antibiotic use show some efficacy, further enhancement of surveillance programmes and targeted interventions at the hospital level are necessary to mitigate the escalation of AMR and ensure adequate antibiotic supply for emerging infectious diseases.
