  16. Health/ Clinical/ Key Questions Patient(& disease characteristics) Intervention(s) Professionals(Target users) Outcomes(purpose of the CPGs) Healthcare settings (& context) CPG Scope: PIPOH Model EBCPGs: Dr. Yasser Sami Amer

  17. Health/ clinical Questions (PIPOH) Sample Antimicrobial Prophylaxis in Surgery P: Patient/target population: Pediatric (age 1–18 years) and Adult (age 19 years or older) patients planned for undergoing surgical procedures. Note: These CPGs do not specifically address newborn (premature and full-term) infants. While the CPGs do not address all concerns for patients with renal or hepatic dysfunction, antimicrobial prophylaxis often does not need to be modified for these patients when given as a single preoperative dose before surgical incision. I: Intervention and practices considered and CPG Category: Assessment of Therapeutic Effectiveness and Prevention Primary antimicrobial prophylaxis (i.e., prevention of an initial infection) for surgical procedures, including antibiotic choice, dose, and dosage regimen.
