Observational study of 2-year data on the impact of an Antimicrobial Stewardship Committee’s focused department-level audit and feedback intervention on adherence to surgical prophylaxis guidelines at a secondary care hospital in the United Arab Emir
The audit and feedback intervention significantly enhanced compliance with SAP guidelines, particularly in timing and duration, contributing to reduced surgical site infections and costs. Implementing institute-wide SAP guidelines based on local antibiogram data is recommended to support clinicians and improve compliance.
