مستخلص: | Background Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been designated a public health crisis by the World Health Organization. AMR can lead to escalated healthcare costs, higher mortality rates, increased morbidity, and more frequent hospitalizations. This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the appropriateness of Tazocin prescription for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Methodology We conducted a retrospective analysis of patients aged ≥18 years who were admitted with a diagnosis of CAP and administered intravenous Tazocin between November 2021 and October 2022. The primary objective was to assess the appropriateness of Tazocin prescriptions in patients with CAP. Results A total of 39 patients with CAP were included, with a mean age of 61 ± 17.36 years. Overall, 24 (61%) patients were male. The rate of inappropriate prescriptions of Tazocin was 66.6%. The incidence of inappropriate Tazocin prescription varied significantly among different medical specialties, with the highest rate observed in the oncology-palliative specialty (90%; p = 0.033). Conclusions Our study affirms the inclination of physicians to prescribe Tazocin for CAP without justifiable indications and highlights the unwarranted use of Tazocin for CAP across various medical specialties. This is evidenced by the notably high rate of inappropriate empirical prescriptions. Competing Interests: The authors have declared that no competing interests exist.
