摘要：
Objective: To assess antibiotics prescription behavior and its rate among staff physicians in two large clinics in NGHA. Method: Cross sectional retrospective chart review of all patients visiting the two clinics (HCSC, ISKAN) from July to December 2002. Result: 108,749 patients visited two centers for 6 months July to December 2002 for different reasons. 85.3 percent were prescribed with antibiotics. There was variability on prescription behavior and rate between the two centers and physicians. Conclusion: The antibiotics prescription rate was very high in our PHC centers with considerable variability among physicians.
