Standard metrics for antimicrobial use consider volume but not spectrum of antimicrobial prescribing. We developed an antibiotic spectrum index (ASI) to classify commonly used antibiotics based on activity against important pathogens. The application of this index to hospital antibiotic use reveals how this tool enhances current antimicrobial stewardship metrics. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2017;38:993-997.
抗菌药物使用的标准指标考虑的是使用量，而非抗菌药物处方的范围。我们开发了一种抗生素谱指数（ASI），以根据对重要病原体的活性对常用抗生素进行分类。将该指数应用于医院抗生素使用情况，揭示了这一工具如何改进当前的抗菌管理指标。《感染控制与医院流行病学》2017年；38：993 - 997。
