A huge amount of careful thought, validation work and technical gymnastics that went into the development of real time AMS reports for AMS teams.

Fluoroquinolone consumption and resistance after an Antibiotic Stewardship Team intervention—an interventional study in a single hospital in southern Poland from 2018–2023.
Among the many classes of antibiotics, fluoroquinolones (FQ) are widely used in empiric treatment. Unfortunately, resistance to FQ is progressively ri…

Great thread about the real world experience of procalcitonin to guide IV antis in children. Low compliance with the algorithm, with a test that also disrupted routine workflow. Diagnostic stewardship requires careful implementation design.
2/ The BATCH trial was a pragmatic, multicentre, open-label, individually randomised, controlled trial conducted in 15 hospitals in England and Wales between June 2018, and Oct 2022.
