Identifying hospital-level predictors for antibiotic use: a Global Point Prevalence Survey study among Belgian, Philippine and South African hospitals

Abstract

Factors related to the patient mix, including the proportion of patients with an invasive device, are associated with increased odds of antibiotic prescribing at hospital level. Considering substantial differences in predictors associated with country-specific patient populations and hospital characteristics, more research is needed to explore additional determinants, such as healthcare system and broader contextual factors that may influence hospital-level antibiotic prevalence.
