Despite evidence showing low cross-reactivity between classes of beta-lactams, patients with reported allergies commonly receive vancomycin as an alternative to avoid allergic reaction. The objective of this study was to identify potentially inappropriate use of vancomycin surgical prophylaxis among patients with reported beta-lactam allergies. 000008301 540__ $$fCC BY 000008301 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000008301 650__ $$aCephalosporins$$016333 000008301 650__ $$aPenicillins$$023721 000008301 650__ $$abeta-Lactams$$035914 000008301 650__ $$aDrug Hypersensitivity$$018070 000008301 650__ $$aAntimicrobial Stewardship$$012178 000008301 6531_ $$apenicillin allergy 000008301 6531_ $$aantibiotics 000008301 6531_ $$avancomycin 000008301 6531_ $$asurgical prophylaxis 000008301 6531_ $$acephalosporin allergy 000008301 6531_ $$abeta-lactam allergy 000008301 7001_ $$aTucker, Kendall$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008301 7001_ $$aHam, Young Yoon$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008301 7001_ $$aHolmer, Haley K. 000008301 7001_ $$aMcCracken, Caitlin M. 000008301 7001_ $$aSukerman, Ellie$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008301 7001_ $$aLewis, James S., II$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008301 7001_ $$aMcGregor, Jessina C.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000008301 711__ $$aResearch Week$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2020 000008301 8564_ $$94e41240a-a0e2-4d15-9f7a-3beedbd0e78d$$s51171$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8301/files/Kendall-Tucker.pdf 000008301 8564_ $$9cfea6164-af27-4789-9626-b25c54fe0878$$s785524$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/8301/files/Tucker_Presentation.pdf 000008301 905__ $$a/rest/prod/pr/76/f4/10/pr76f4102 000008301 980__ $$aResearch Week
