Physicians did not comply with the management provisions in the "Guiding Principles for Clinical Application of Antibacterials", and 88 cases of antibacterials prescriptions were issued, accounting for 6.26%. Conclusions: The overall quality of hospital prescriptions is good, but the prominent unreasonable problems need to be improved.
