Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) remains an important global public health issue with antimicrobial misuse and overuse being one of the main drivers. The Global Point Prevalence Survey (G-PPS) Consumption Resistance assesses prevalence quality prescriptions across hospitals globally. G-PPS was carried out at 17 Ghana, Uganda, Zambia Tanzania. overall use 50% (30–57%), most antibiotics prescribed belonging to WHO ‘Access’ ‘Watch’ categories. No ‘Reserve’ category study sites while...
Abstract Background The Global Point Prevalence Survey of Antimicrobial Consumption and Resistance (Global-PPS) provides a methodology to support hospitals worldwide in collecting antimicrobial use data.

Abstract Background Hospitals in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) face context-specific challenges implementing antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programmes. The Global Point Prevalence Survey (Global-PPS) project has established a network of hospitals across 90 countries, using point prevalence surveys to monitor use guide AMS activities. However, little is known about implementation these hospitals. Using qualitative research, we aim explore the process LMIC within Global-PPS factors...

Indiscriminate antimicrobial use is one of the greatest contributors to resistance. A low level asepsis in hospitals and inadequate laboratory support have been adduced as reasons for indiscriminate antimicrobials among surgical patients. At present, there are no guidelines presumptive antibiotic Nigeria sub-Saharan Africa.Surgical inpatients at study hospital were surveyed determine degree compliance with prescription quality indicators.A cross-sectional survey was conducted all May 2019...
The COVID-19 pandemic is a global public health challenge with understudied effects on antimicrobial usage. We aimed to analyze prescribing patterns in patients Russian multi-field hospitals by means of the Global-PPS Project developed University Antwerp. Out 999 wards six surveyed 2021, 51.3% received antimicrobials (79% intensive care, 47.5% medical wards). Systemic antivirals and antibiotics were prescribed 31% 35.1% patients, respectively, combination both 14.1% patients. top...
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the key issues limiting successful treatment infectious diseases and associated with adverse medical, social economic consequences on a global scale. The present study aims to evaluate antimicrobials prescribing patterns assess progress in quality indicators Russian multidisciplinary hospitals using three repetitive point prevalence studies (PPSs) over 4 years (Global-PPS 2015, 2017 2018). Out 13,595 patients from 21 surveyed time points, 3542 (26.14%)...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat associated with high morbidity and mortality, particularly in low- middle-income countries. Inappropriate use of antimicrobials one the major drivers AMR pandemic. This study aims to evaluate rate quality antimicrobial prescription at University Teaching Hospital Kigali, tertiary referral teaching hospital. A point prevalence survey (PPS) was conducted using Global PPS tool, including healthcare-acquired infections (HAI)-module. On day PPS,...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global problem that results in high morbidity and mortality, particularly low- middle-income countries. Inappropriate use of antimicrobials major driver AMR. This study aimed to evaluate the rate quality antimicrobial prescription at University Teaching Hospital Kigali (CHUK), tertiary-referral teaching hospital.
