Lian T, Dybvik E, Gjertsen JE, et al. - This study was undertaken to evaluate compliance with new guidelines for prophylactic antibiotics in hip fracture surgery in Norway introduced in 2013. Researcher applied data from the Norwegian Hip Fracture Register to evaluate the proportion of antibiotics given according to the national guidelines. A total of 13,329 hemiarthroplasties for acute hip fracture were studied in all hospitals in Norway performing hip fracture surgery in the period from 2011 to 2016. It was shown that the change towards correct administration of antibiotic prophylaxis was changed both when evaluating university and non-university hospitals. They imply that both hospital leaders and the national Directorate of Health need to evaluate routines for better dissemination of information and education to involved parties. This study's findings demonstrate that strong leadership concerning evidence-based guidelines on antibiotic prophylaxis in surgery may take away some autonomy from executing healthcare professionals, but will result in better patient care and antibiotic stewardship.
