N2  - Abstract: The use of antibiotics in appendicitis has been discussed thoroughly, and the Philippine College of Surgeons thru the Committee on Surgical Infection, have written an evidence-based clinical practice guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of acute appendicitis. The type of antibiotic, route, dosage and length of use for prophylaxis was stated on the guidelines. Despite of this, clinicians and surgeons have been practicing the use of antibiotics different from the stated guidelines. To date, there are no studies in the Philippines that determines the compliance to this said guideline. Hence, this study aims to determine the compliance of surgeons and clinicians in the existing guideline on the use of prophylactic antibiotics in patients diagnosed with uncomplicated appendicitis.
