Assessment of the appropriateness of antibiotic prescriptions for infection prophylaxis before dental procedures, 2011 to 2015.
This retrospective cohort study examined the use of antibiotic prophylaxis prescribed before dental procedures with patients who have commercial dental insurance. Data from the Truven insurance network was used for claims from 2009 to 2015. Patients in the study were given an antibiotic prescription 7 days before a dental visit. These patients have an appropriate cardiac diagnosis and the median age was 63 and majority female. The majority of dental visits were classified as diagnostic (70.2%) or and/or preventive (58.8%). There were prevalent comorbidities in some patients including prosthetic joint devices (42.5%) and cardiac conditions at higher risk of adverse outcome from infections (20.9%). It was found that 80.9% of antibiotic prescriptions were deemed to be unnecessary based on guidelines.
