OBJECTIVE: Antibiotic overuse is common in the neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). We evaluated the change in antibiotic utilization rate (AUR) by eliminating routine CRP in the management of early-onset sepsis (EOS). METHODS: Retrospective before-after cohort study in a Level 3B NICU. We made the following practice changes in the management of EOS: (1) stop routine CRP and (2) implement an automatic stop order (ASO) for antibiotics at 48 h. We compared the AUR, defined as any antibiotic use per 1000 patient days before and after practice change. RESULT: There was an absolute reduction of 30% in AUR and a decrease in the proportion of neonates receiving antibiotics from the day of life 3-6 in postintervention period. We did not identify any case of partially treated EOS with change in practice. CONCLUSION: Elimination of routine CRP and ASO implementation for antibiotics in neonates at risk for EOS decreased AUR.
目的:新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)中抗生素的过度使用较为常见。我们通过在早发性败血症(EOS)的管理中消除常规 C 反应蛋白(CRP)来评估抗生素使用率(AUR)的变化。
方法:在 3B 级 NICU 中进行回顾性前后队列研究。我们在 EOS 的管理中进行了以下实践改变:(1)停止常规 CRP;(2)在 48 小时时实施抗生素自动停止医嘱(ASO)。我们比较了实践改变前后每 1000 个患者日使用抗生素的 AUR。
结果:AUR 绝对减少了 30%,并且在干预后时期,第 3-6 天接受抗生素治疗的新生儿比例降低。我们没有发现任何因实践改变而导致的 EOS 治疗不彻底的病例。
结论:在有 EOS 风险的新生儿中消除常规 CRP 和实施抗生素 ASO 减少了 AUR。
