Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Antimicrobial stewardship programs have been shown to decrease the length of hospitalization and risk of readmission in pediatric acute care facilities and decrease morbidity and mortality in adult facilities. Due to the high use of antibiotics in pediatric long term care facilities, we sought to determine the effectiveness of a pilot antimicrobial stewardship program in this setting.
