Objective: Determine factors associated to prescription of restricted antibiotic and non-restricted antibiotics in patients hospitalized in the internal medicine service of Arzobispo Loayza National Hospital during the July-August 2020 period Methods: Descriptive, observational, and cross-sectional research project. It included 150 patients; 48 treated with controlled antibiotics and 102 treated with non-controlled antibiotics; the entirety of patients found. Bivariate analysis was then applied. Results: Prescription of restricted antibiotics accounted for 32% of the sample size. The mean age of the patients could be found within the range of 50-59 years, 52.7% were female and 66.7% were hospitalized in No COVID-19 ward. The most used therapy with restricted antibiotics was meropenem (43.8%), the therapy with non-restricted ones was ceftriaxone + azithromycin (39.2%). Patients treated with restricted antibiotics had a longer hospitalization stay prior to the beginning of antibiotic treatment, higher frequency of previous hospitalization in the prior 90 days, sepsis, culture testing done, culture-directed therapy and isolated pathogen. Patients treated with non-restricted antibiotics were associated with hospitalization in the COVID-19 ward, and higher frequency of pneumonia and intraabdominal infection. Conclusion: Treatment with restricted antibiotics was more common among patients with risk factors for intrahospitalary infection. The COVID-19 pandemic created special circumstances, for which further studies are required.
