| Summary, etc. | ABSTRACT:<br/><br/>INTRODUCTION <br/>Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common bacterial infections worldwide. It has <br/>become one of the most common cause for the hospitalization and sepsis. The most common <br/>causative organism of UTI are Escherichia coli (E.coli), Enterococcus, Klebsiella, <br/>Pseudomonas and other Enterococcus or Staphylococcus species. UTI is generally treated with <br/>antimicrobial agents and fluids. This study was conducted to study the prescribing pattern of <br/>antibiotic among hospitalized patients with urinary tract infection. <br/><br/>METHODS <br/>This cross-sectional study was conducted in Nepal Medical College Teaching Hospital <br/>(NMCTH), Attarkhel, Kathmandu from January 2022 to April 2022. Patients aged 18 years or <br/>above of both sex, admitted to various departments with the provisional diagnosis of UTI were <br/>included in the study. <br/><br/>RESULTS <br/>Out of 146 patients admitted with a diagnosis of UTI, more than half were females (98, 67.1%). <br/>Most commonly affected age groups range from 18-30 years (40, 27.4%). Diabetes mellitus <br/>(DM) was the commonest risk factor in 36 (24.6%) patients followed by renal stone (23, <br/>15.7%) and pregnancy (22, 15.1%). The most commonly prescribed antibiotics during hospital <br/>stay was cephalosporin in 102 (69.9%) patients followed by combination of penicillin and beta <br/>lactamase inhibitors (31, 21.2%) and fluroquinolones (15, 10.3%). <br/>Ceftriaxone (78, 53.4%) alone was the most commonly prescribed antibiotic as empirical <br/>therapy followed by combination of piperacillin and tazobactam (22, 15.1%). One hundred and forty four (78.6%) patients were prescribed antibiotics from watch group followed by access <br/>group (21, 11.5 %). <br/><br/><br/>CONCLUSION <br/>Cephalosporin was the commonest antibiotic group prescribed in hospitalized patient where <br/>ceftriaxone was commonly prescribed as an empirical therapy. Among AWaRe classification, <br/>antibiotics from Watch group were commonly prescribed. |
