Abstract
Objectives
To assess the utilization of ceftazidime-avibactam at Thong Nhat Hospital, a national hospital in Vietnam.
Methods
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using retrospective data from medical records of inpatients aged ≥ 18 years who received ceftazidime-avibactam for at least 2 days between January 2023 and March 2025 at Thong Nhat Hospital, Vietnam. The appropriateness of ceftazidime-avibactam use was evaluated based on Thong Nhat Hospital's antibiotic use guideline. The backward conditional method was used to identify factors associated with patient treatment outcomes.
