Abstract
To evaluate the long-term outcomes of an antimicrobial stewardship program (ASP) implemented in a hospital with low baseline antibiotic use. Quasi-experimental, interrupted time-series study. Public safety net hospital with 525 beds. Implementation of a formal ASP in July 2008. We conducted a time-series analysis to evaluate the impact of the ASP over a 6.25-year period (July 1, 2008-September 30, 2014) while controlling for trends during a 3-year preintervention period (July 1, 2005-June 30, 2008). The primary outcome measures were total antibacterial and antipseudomonal use in days of therapy (DOT) per 1,000 patient-days (PD). Secondary outcomes included antimicrobial costs and resistance, hospital-onset Clostridium difficile infection, and other patient-centered measures. During the preintervention period, total antibacterial and antipseudomonal use were declining (-9.2 and -5.5 DOT/1,000 PD per quarter, respectively). During the stewardship period, both continued to decline, although at lower rates (-3.7 and -2.2 DOT/1,000 PD, respectively), resulting in a slope change of 5.5 DOT/1,000 PD per quarter for total antibacterial use (P=.10) and 3.3 DOT/1,000 PD per quarter for antipseudomonal use (P=.01). Antibiotic expenditures...Continue Reading
