description Antimicrobial therapy in terminally ill patients remains controversial as goals of care tend to be focused on optimizing comfort. International guidelines recommend for antibiotic stewardship program (ASP) involvement in antibiotic decisions in palliative patients. The primary objective was to evaluate the clinical impact of ASP interventions made to stop broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics in terminally ill patients. This was a retrospective chart review of 459 terminally ill patients in Singapore General Hospital audited by ASP between December 2010 and December 2018. Antibiotic duration, time-to-terminal discharge for end-of-life care, time-to-mortality, and mortality rates of patients with antibiotics ceased or continued upon ASP recommendations were compared. A total of 283 and 176 antibiotic courses were ceased and continued post-intervention, respectively. The intervention acceptance rate was 61.7%. The 7-day mortality rate (47.3% vs 61.9%, p  = 0.003) was lower in the ceased group, while 30-day mortality rate (76.0% vs 81.2%, p  = 0.203) and time-to-mortality post-intervention (3 [0–24] vs 2 [0–27] days, p  = 0.066) did not differ between the ceased and continued groups. After excluding the 57 patients who had antibiotics continued until death within 48 h of intervention, only time-to-mortality post-intervention was statistically significantly shorter in the ceased group (3 [0–24] vs 4 [0–27], p
