Predictors of antibiogram performance and antibiotic resistance patterns in the northern Syrian region: A cross-sectional investigation.

Introduction: Antibiogram use is crucial in the fight against antibiotic resistance in Syria, helping to guide treatment decisions, monitor resistance trends, and implement measures to mitigate this global health threat. This study explores the predictors of antibiogram performance and antibiotic resistance patterns in hospital settings in the Northern Syrian region.

Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was performed over six months, from the beginning of September 2022 to February 2023, targeting patients admitted to two hospitals in Syria with susceptibility to infection.
