Overview

Analysis shows significant use of carbapenems and a need for stewardship in antibiotic prescribing among cardiac inpatients.

Key Points

  • Overall antibiotic use averaged 29.9 defined daily doses per 100 bed-days in patients.
  • Over six fiscal years, carbapenems made up the dominant antibiotic class used.
  • Patterns reveal missed access targets, calling for improved stewardship in cardiac care practices.
  • Stewardship is essential to ensure appropriate antibiotic use and effective patient management.
