Strategies to reduce antibiotic overuse in hospitals depend on prescribers taking decisions stop unnecessary use. There is scarce evidence for how support these decisions. We evaluated a multifaceted behaviour change intervention (ie, the review kit) designed use among adult acute general medical inpatients by increasing appropriate antibiotics at clinical review.We performed stepped-wedge, cluster (hospital)-randomised controlled trial using computer-generated sequence randomisation of...
Background Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia is a common and frequently fatal infection. Adjunctive rifampicin may enhance early S. killing, sterilise infected foci blood faster, thereby reduce the risk of dissemination, metastatic infection death. Objectives To determine whether or not adjunctive reduces bacteriological (microbiologically confirmed) failure/recurrence death through 12 weeks from randomisation. Secondary objectives included evaluating impact on all-cause mortality,...
Abstract Background Strategies to reduce antibiotic overuse in hospitals depend on clinicians taking decisions stop unnecessary antibiotics. There is a lack of evidence how support do this effectively. We evaluated multifaceted behaviour change intervention (ARK) which aims consumption by increasing antibiotics at clinical review. Methods performed stepped-wedge, hospital-level, cluster-randomised controlled trial using computer-generated sequence randomisation 39 acute 7 calendar-time...
