Low diagnostic yield and time to diagnostic confirmation results in prolonged use of antimicrobials in critically ill children

2022-03-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy is a key driver of antimicrobial resistance. Here, we aimed to review indications for antimicrobial therapy, determine the proportion of suspected bacterial infections that are confirmed by culture, and assess the time taken for microbiology test results to become available in the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU). <h4>Methods: </h4> : A single-centre...
