抗菌药物管理计划通常使用治疗天数来评估抗菌药物的使用。然而，该指标并不能解释抗菌活性谱。我们将抗生素谱指数应用于极低出生体重婴儿群体，以评估其在评估抗菌药物管理干预措施影响方面的实用性。
Antimicrobial stewardship programs typically use days of therapy to assess antimicrobial use. However, this metric does not account for the antimicrobial spectrum of activity. We applied an antibiotic spectrum index to a population of very-low-birth-weight infants to assess its utility to evaluate the impact of antimicrobial stewardship interventions.
