Article Synopsis
- The first point prevalence survey at Korle Bu Teaching Hospital aimed to establish a baseline for antimicrobial use and identify necessary stewardship interventions.
- During the survey, 988 patients were assessed, showing an overall antimicrobial prevalence of 53.3%, with community-acquired infections treated more frequently than healthcare-associated ones.
- Key findings included that the most common reasons for antimicrobial prescribing were pneumonia, skin infections, and sepsis, with a notable focus on compliance and documentation in prescriptions, suggesting potential improvements in antimicrobial stewardship.
