Reducing unnecessary urine culturing and antibiotic overprescribing in long-term care: a before-and-after analysis. Brown, K. A., Chambers, A., MacFarlane, S., Langford, B., Leung, V., Quirk, J., Schwartz, K. L., & Garber, G. CMAJ Open, 7(1):E174–E181, March, 2019.
Paper doi abstract bibtex Background: Antibiotic use in long-term care homes is highly variable. High rates of antibiotic use are associated with antibiotic resistance and Clostridium difficile infection. We asked 2 questions regarding a program designed to improve diagnosis and management of urinary tract infections in long-term care: whether the program decreased urine culturing and antibiotic prescribing rates and whether specific strategies of the program were more or less likely to be adopted.
