Abstract
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to identify factors associated with antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) in patients in the department of intensive care medicine who received antibiotic monotherapy in order to reduce the incidence of AAD and improve rational use of antibiotics in these patients. AIM: To report the incidence of AAD and the factors associated with AAD in patients receiving antibiotic monotherapy. METHODS: < 0.05. RESULTS: = 0.729). CONCLUSION: Older age, longer ICU stay time, duration of use of proton pump inhibitors, and duration of antibiotic increase the incidence of AAD in ICU patients receiving antibiotic monotherapy.
