AbstractBackgroundWhile there is evidence of implementation of antimicrobial stewardship programmes (ASPs) in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states, there has been limited benchmarking and mapping to international standards and frameworks. AimTo critically appraise and synthesize the evidence of ASP implementation in GCC hospitals with reference to the framework of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), identifying key facilitators and barriers. MethodsA systematic review protocol was developed based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses for Protocols guidelines. Five electronic databases were searched for studies published in English from 2010 onwards. Study selection, quality assessment and data extraction were performed independently by two reviewers. A narrative synthesis was conducted with ASP interventions mapped to CDC core elements. FindingsSeventeen studies were identified, most of which (N=11) were from Saudi Arabia. Mapping to the CDC framework identified key areas of strengths and weaknesses in reporting implementation. Studies more commonly reported core elements of pharmacy expertise, selected aspects of implementation actions, tracking, antibiotic use and resistance, and education. Little emphasis was placed on the reporting of leadership and accountability. Key implementation facilitators were physician and organization support, information systems and education, and barriers were dedicated staff, workload and funding. ConclusionThere is a need to enhance the reporting of ASP implementation in GCC hospitals. The CDC framework should be used as a guide during the development, implementation and reporting of ASP interventions. Action is required to identify facilitators and overcome barriers, where possible.
