Article Synopsis
- The study investigates antibiotic use in hospitalized patients with acute abdomen, highlighting the conflict between current practices and Danish regional guidelines that recommend limited use of broad-spectrum antibiotics like cephalosporins.
- Out of 331 patients, more than half received antibiotics, with a significant proportion treated with cephalosporins, especially those diagnosed with acute appendicitis.
- The findings indicate a need to reinforce antibiotic guidelines to prevent antibiotic resistance, as the high use of cephalosporins contradicts established recommendations.*
