We describe differences between urinary tract infection treatment and events reported by nursing homes enrolled in the National Healthcare Safety Network. In 2017, almost 4 times as many antibiotic starts as infection events were reported, suggesting that opportunities exist for antibiotic stewardship and improvement of urinary tract infection reporting.
我们描述了全国医疗保健安全网络中参与的养老院报告的尿路感染治疗和事件之间的差异。2017 年,报告的抗生素起始使用次数几乎是感染事件的 4 倍,这表明存在抗生素管理和尿路感染报告改进的机会。
