The standardized antibiotic administration ratio (SAAR) enables comparison of antibiotic use (AU) within and between hospitals and identifies target locations and antimicrobials for stewardship interventions. Thousands of institutions have already been submitting AU to the National Healthcare Safety Network. We highlight the benefits and meaningful utilization of SAAR in conjunction with antimicrobial stewardship interventions to improve antimicrobial prescribing in the clinical setting.
标准化抗生素给药率(SAAR)能够对医院内部以及不同医院之间的抗生素使用情况进行比较,并确定管理干预措施的目标地点和抗菌药物。数以千计的机构已经在向国家医疗安全网络提交抗生素使用数据。我们强调了SAAR结合抗菌药物管理干预措施在改善临床环境中抗菌药物处方方面的益处和实际应用价值。
