Differential outcome of an antimicrobial stewardship audit and feedback program in two intensive care units: a controlled interrupted time series study
BACKGROUND Antimicrobial decision making in intensive care units (ICUs) is challenging. Unnecessary antimicrobials contribute to the development of resistant pathogens, Clostridium difficile infection and drug related adverse events. However, inadequate antimicrobial therapy is associated with mortality in critically ill patients. Antimicrobial stewardship programs are increasingly being implem...
متن کاملProspective audit and feedback of antimicrobial stewardship in critical care: program implementation, experience, and challenges.
Antimicrobial stewardship has been defined as the limitation of inappropriate use of antimicrobials while optimizing the selection, dosing, route, and duration of antimicrobial therapy to maximize clinical cure or prevent infection; limiting unintended consequences, such as emergence of resistance, occurrence of adverse drug events, and selection of pathogenic organisms (such as Clostridium dif...

متن کاملAntimicrobial Stewardship Program for Broad-Spectrum Oral Antibiotic Use in a Pediatric Emergency Department: an Interrupted Time-Series Analysis
Background. The core elements provide a framework for nursing homes (NH) to establish antibiotic stewardship programs (ASP). We report on implementation and sustainability of ASP through a hospital-NH partnership. Methods. Since 2014, a hospital-based team (HBT) assisted 9 NH in Monroe County, NY in implementing ASP. Enrollment was staggered; data are currently available from 2 NH: Facility X (...
متن کاملInterventions to reduce colonisation and transmission of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in intensive care units: an interrupted time series study and cluster randomised trial
BACKGROUND Intensive care units (ICUs) are high-risk areas for transmission of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, but no controlled study has tested the effect of rapid screening and isolation of carriers on transmission in settings with best-standard precautions. We assessed interventions to reduce colonisation and transmission of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in European ICUs. METHODS We ...
