Introduction
More than half of all antibiotics given to treat active infections in hospitals are prescribed for three infections where there are important opportunities to improve use: lower respiratory tract infection (pneumonia), urinary tract infection and skin and soft tissue infection (according to MOH hospitals reports). Availability of protocol and system to monitor the adherence is most important strategies to ensure that the use of antimicrobial in hospital setting is appropriately
Purpose: To help the MOH hospitals during establishment of Antimicrobials Stewardship Program at hospital settings
Aim and scope: The protocol is intended to provide guidance on the safe and cost-effectiveness treatment of most common community and hospital acquired infections and to decrease the antimicrobial resistance. For hospital acquired infection the choice between the recommended agents should be based on local resistance data (antibiogram)
Targeted population: Hospitalized immunocompetent patients who are diagnosed with Lower respiratory infection (Community acquired pneumonia, hospital acquired pneumonia and ventilator acquired pneumonia)
Targeted end users: Physicians, Pharmacists/clinical pharmacists and Nurses
Setup: Inpatient setting
Methodology:
Phase I: In 2014 the Antibiotic committee under the General Administration of Pharmaceutical Care developed the antimicrobial guideline by reviewing and adopting international guideline (Infectious Disease Society of America, American Thoracic Society, American Society of Health-System Pharmacists and European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases) to cover 20 infectious diseases.
Phase II: In 2016, collaboration with General Administration of infection control a group of infectious disease consultants reviewed this guideline
Phase III: In 2020-2012 The specific indications were agreed by Antimicrobial Stewardship Program central team to be implemented and monitored in MOH hospitals as a strategy. For this reason, the lower respiratory infections sections updated by specialized clinical pharmacists according to recent international guideline, literature and MOH formulary and then reviewed by infectious disease consultants.
Conflict of interest:
This protocol developed based on valid scientific evidence, critical assessment of that evidence, and objective clinical judgment that relates the evidence to the needs of practitioners and patients. No financial relationships with pharmaceutical, medical device, and biotechnology companies.
Funding:
No fund was provided
Updating:
First version of this protocol created in 2020-2021. The protocol will be updated every 3 years or if any changes or updates released by international/national guidelines, pharmacotherapy references or MOH formulary

Community Acquired Pneumonia \( ^{(1)} \)
Pneumonia Severity index (PSI) Prediction Tool for Patients with Community-Acquired
Pneumonia
Definition of PSI: The pneumonia severity index is a rigorously studied prediction rule for prognosis that objectively stratifies patients into quintiles of risk for short-term mortality on the basis of 20 demographic and clinical variables routinely available at presentation. It is available on MOF formulary under the medical calculator section

* The American Thoracic Society (ATS)/Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) guidelines recommended that the patients with CAP should be treated for a minimum of five days. Before stopping therapy, the patient should be afebrile for 48 to 72 hours, breathing without supplemental oxygen (unless required for pre-existing disease), and have no more than one clinical instability factor (defined as heart rate >100 beats/minute, respiratory rate >24 breaths/minute, and SBP ≤90 mmHg).

Hospital Acquired Pneumonia/Ventilator acquired pneumonia (2)
- For hospital-acquired infection the choice between these agents should be selected based on local resistance data (antibiogram)
- Patient should be shifted to specific antibiotic depend on the culture result within 3-5 days
- Daptomycin (inactivate by surfactant), tigecycline (lower clinical cure rate in RCT) are not recommended in management of HAP/VAP
-In patients with suspected VAP/HAP, avoiding aminoglycosides (poor clinical response, poor lung penetration, and risk of toxicity) and colistin (increase resistance, nephrotoxicity and increase mortality over long term) if alternative agents with adequate gram-negative activity are available
-The guideline recommends against using of an aminoglycoside as the sole antipseudomonal agent
- Empiric regimens for suspected S. aureus (MSSA), P. aeruginosa, and other gram-negative bacilli
- In patients without risk factors for antimicrobial resistance
- If the patient treated in ICUs where <10%–20% of S. aureus isolates are methicillin resistant and <10% of gram-negative isolates are resistant to the agent being considered for monotherapy
Seven days' regimen
