Using Antibiotics Wisely - An Antimicrobial Stewardship Program

NCT04388293 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 2000

Last updated 2021-12-28

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

There are significant variations in antimicrobial consumption across Canadian Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs). Inappropriate and overuse of antibiotics can result in antimicrobial resistance and adverse outcomes among vulnerable neonatal populations. There are limited data on broad-spectrum antimicrobial use, multi-drug resistant organisms (MDRO) prevalence, and effective NICU-specific antimicrobial stewardship strategies. The aim of this study is to develop and implement NICU-specific antimicrobial stewardship strategies at both national and individual unit levels to promote optimal antimicrobial use and decrease the incidence of MDROs.
