RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat to public health. Antibiotic stewardship programs (AMSP) promote the proper use of antimicrobials, improve clinical and economic outcomes, and helps containing the AMR. AIM: To evaluate the diagnostic phase of the AMS programs and early implementation of AMS at three high complexity hospitals that belong to the social security system in Peru. METHODS: A quasi-experimental multicenter study was implemented. The construction of the AMSP, microbiological baselines, antimicrobial consumption and consensus on AMS activities were evaluated at the diagnosis and early implementation periods of the AMSP. RESULTS: Following implementation, hospitals doubled their score of resources and processes available for the AMS program from 6.75 to 13.75. The prevalence of extended spectrum beta-lactamase producing enterobacteria was 50-60% while Pseudomonas aeruginosa averaged 69% resistance to carbapenems. The defined daily dose (DDD) of ceftriaxone was 13.63, vancomycin 7.35 and meropenem 6.73 in average. Hospitals A and C decreased the use of antimicrobials (30-50%). DISCUSSION: The implementation of the AMSP in the three hospitals was achieved through diverse strategies designed by multidisciplinary teams, which in addition to its articulation, reduce the consumption of broad spectrum antimicrobials at an early stage.

Resumen Introducción: La resistencia a los antimicrobianos (RAM) es una amenaza para la salud pública mundial. Los programas de optimización del uso de antimicrobianos (PROAs) son programas que promueven su adecuado uso, mejoran los resultados clínicos, económicos y contribuyen a contener la RAM. Objetivos: Evaluar las fases de diagnóstico e implementación temprana de los PROAs en tres hospitales de alta complejidad pertenecientes al Sistema de Seguridad Social del Perú. Materiales y Métodos: Estudio multicéntrico, cuasi experimental. La estructuración de los programas, las líneas de base microbiológicas, el consumo de antimicrobianos y los consensos fueron evaluadas durante los períodos de diagnóstico inicial y durante la implementación temprana de los PROAs. Resultados: Con posterioridad a la implementación, los hospitales duplicaron la puntuación de recursos disponibles para los programas (6,75 vs 13,75). La prevalencia de enterobacterias portadoras de β-lactamasas de espectro extendido era de 50-60%, mientras que la resistencia a carbapenémicos en Pseudomonas aeruginosa promedió el 69%. La dosis diaria definida de ceftriaxona fue de 13,63, de 7,35 para vancomicina y 6,73 para meropenem en promedio. Los hospitales A y C disminuyeron el uso de antimicrobianos en 30 a 50%. Discusión: A través de estrategias diseñadas por equipos multidisciplinarios para implementar los PROAs, se logró disminuir tempranamente el consumo de antimicrobianos de amplio espectro.
