This study assessed the impact of antibiotic stewardship intervention on the use of FQs over a 5-year period.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Five annual audits were performed to evaluate FQ prescriptions. Following the baseline audit, a campaign of appropriate antibiotic use was initiated with courses on antibiotics including FQs. All audits included quantitative and qualitative evaluations to calculate an index of therapeutic adequacy (ITA) with six criteria: indication, molecule type, dosage, duration, route of administration and association. These audits were performed annually from 2015 to 2019.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Key findings<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The number of prescriptions decreased substantially from 90 in 2015 to 17 in 2019. This reduction was consistent with consumption data, such that the defined daily dose for 1000 bed days diminished from 67 in 2015 to 42 in 2019. Between 2015 and 2016, the ITA decreased significantly from 3.27 to 1.79 (P = 0.001), corresponding to an improvement in prescription quality. The ITA stabilised between 2016 and 2019. Moreover, improvements were observed in the proportion of entirely conforming prescriptions, conformity of indications, choice of molecule type among FQs and proportion of prescriptions with non-conforming treatment durations.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Between 2015 and 2019, we observed quantitative and qualitative improvements in FQ prescriptions within the hospital.
