Japan's National Action Plan on AMR, initiated in 2016, aims to reduce antimicrobial consumption. Although overall antimicrobial consumption has declined, detailed data on the clinical appropriateness of outpatient antibiotic prescriptions remain limited. We evaluated longitudinal changes in the quality and patterns of outpatient antibiotic prescribing in Japan between 2016 and 2022.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This multicentre cross-sectional chart review was conducted in Aichi Prefecture and included acute-care hospitals with antimicrobial stewardship teams. Outpatient visits with antibiotic prescriptions in 2016, 2019 and 2022 were identified, and 1000 visits per year were randomly sampled. Electronic medical records were reviewed to extract patient and prescription characteristics and to assess the appropriateness of antibiotic selection based on the recorded diagnoses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 1\u2005177\u2005552 outpatient visits with antibiotic prescriptions, 2987 randomly sampled visits from 34 hospitals were analysed. Treatment prescriptions decreased (from 58.8%-46.1%), whereas medical prophylaxis increased (from 16.8%-33.4%), largely driven by trimethoprim\u2013sulfamethoxazole use. The use of third-generation cephalosporins and macrolides declined, whereas trimethoprim\u2013sulfamethoxazole became the most frequently prescribed antibiotic by 2022. Among the evaluable treatment prescriptions (n\u2005=\u20051083), the proportion of inappropriate prescriptions decreased from 59.2%-47.4% (P\u2005=\u20050.02). This improvement was mainly observed for third-generation cephalosporins, whereas macrolide and fluoroquinolone prescribing remained largely inappropriate.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n
