| Abstract |
Irrational antibiotic use has become the national agenda both in Thailand and other countries worldwide. This prospective cohort study was conducted to determine the prevalence and the rational use of antibiotic prophylaxis during childbirth among pregnant women who were admitted to Yangtalat Hospital, Kalasin Province between 1 January and 30 June 2020. Data were collected from medical records and patient interviews during hospitalization and after hospital discharge. A total of 270 participants were recruited in the study. There were 127 and 143 women with vaginal delivery and caesarean section, respectively. Antibiotic prophylaxis was prescribed in 139 participants (51.5%). The percentage of appropriateness of prescribing antibiotic prophylaxis was 97.8%. Peripartum infections were presented in 8.9%. In conclusion, most of antibiotic prophylaxis is rational with low incidence of complications. |
