To reduce antibiotic over-use in preterm neonates by implementing an antibiotic stewardship programme using a quality improvement (QI) initiative. This study was conducted at a neonatal intensive care unit in a resource-limited setting. The reasons for antibiotic over-use were analysed and an antibiotic stewardship programme was implemented by using a QI initiative. The duration of the QI was a 1-month baseline phase followed by 3 months of implementation which was undertaken in the form of Plan-Do-Study-Act (P-D-S-A) cycles. The sustainment phase was observed for 2 months. All neonates admitted to the preterm unit were included. The outcome measure was the antibiotic usage expressed as days of therapy (DOT)/1000 patient days. In the baseline phase, DOT/1000 patient days was 1464 which fell to 706, 511, and 442 DOT/1000 patiencare unit.

This study aims to evaluate psychiatric diagnoses, Executive Functions (EF) and Theory of Mind (ToM) skills deficiencies in sexually abused female adolescents and examine the relation of these deficiencies with externalizing and internalizing behavioral problems. The patient group comprised 42 female adolescents aged 14-18 years (mean = 16.42, standard deviation = 1.01). The Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia-P
