Assessment of Guideline Discordance With Antimicrobial Prophylaxis Best Practices for Common Urologic Procedures

Abstract

In this study of patients who underwent common urologic procedures, the rate of guideline-discordant antimicrobial use was high mostly because of overprescribing of postprocedural antimicrobial agents; future antimicrobial stewardship interventions should target the postprocedural period.
