The present study was conducted using data from 393 nonteaching public hospitals. Data included patient characteristics calculated at the hospital level (mean age and proportion of patients with the following: HAI, presence of a vascular catheter, presence of a urinary catheter, surgical procedure, and immunodeficiency) and hospital characteristics (size and presence of an intensive care unit). The regional effect was measured using a random intercept on a regional variable.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0195941700039874_abs3\"><jats:title>Results.<\/jats:title><jats:p>Overall, the prevalence of antibiotic use was 5.35% for both study years. The most commonly used antibiotics for HAIs were fluoroquinolones (2001, 1.33%; 2006, 1.35%) and combinations of penicillins with a <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>-lactamase inhibitor (2001, 0.92%; 2006, 1.02%). Mapping of antibiotic use showed wide variation between regions. The regional effect explained 3% of antibiotic variation in the unadjusted analysis. In the multivariable analysis, hospital size, high prevalence of patients with immunodeficiency, and infection characteristics explained 45% of the variability in antibiotic use. The regional effect was not retained in the final model.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0195941700039874_abs4\"><jats:title>Conclusion.<\/jats:title><jats:p>The pattern of antibiotic use for HAIs differed over time, and regional variations were mostly explained by patient characteristics; there was no regional effect.
