A Baker’s Dozen of Top Antimicrobial Stewardship Intervention Publications in 2017

Abstract

With an increasing number of antimicrobial stewardship–related articles published each year, attempting to stay current is challenging. The Southeastern Research Group Endeavor (SERGE-45) identified antimicrobial stewardship-related peer-reviewed literature that detailed an “actionable” intervention for 2017. The top 13 publications were selected using a modified Delphi technique. These manuscripts were reviewed to highlight the “actionable” intervention used by antimicrobial stewardship programs to provide key stewardship literature for training and teaching and identify potential intervention opportunities within their institutions.

A Baker's Dozen of Top Antimicrobial Stewardship Intervention Publications for Hospitalized Patients in 2021

“…Using a previously detailed modified Delphi technique, members of the SERGE-45 network identified AS publications from 2021 considered to be significant using the following inclusion criteria: (1) published in 2021, including electronic, “early-release” publications, and (2) included an actionable intervention [ 8–11 ]. Due to the continually increasing numbers of eligible publications, a new criterion was adopted for 2021: (3) intervention was conducted among hospitalized patients.…”

“…Continued interest in AS topics among top tier peer-reviewed journals has also maintained AS at the forefront of audiences' minds. For the fifth consecutive year, the Southeastern Research Group Endeavor (SERGE-45) network, an interprofessional, infectious diseases (ID) network of clinicians and scholars, has provided an annual critical review of the published literature on AS interventions [ 8–11 ]. The goal remains to highlight novel and valuable AS interventions across the spectrum of ID and associated therapeutic areas for the purpose of educating clinicians, guiding further research, and encouraging local discussion for implementation.…”

Empfehlungen des Antibiotic-Stewardship Teams – eine Analyse unter Routinebedingungen eines Universitätsklinikums

“…Daher sind sogenannte "Behaviour changing techniques", also Maßnahmen die langfristig das Verhalten im Sinne eines Change-Managements ändern, wie sie auch in der aktuellen deutsch-österreichischen S3-Leitlinie gefordert sind, wichtiges Instrumentarium um die Erfolge von ABS-Maßnahmen zu sichern. Diskutiert wird international auch, ob "Prescription authorisation", das heißt die Freigabe der Antiinfektivaverordnungen durch das ABS-Team, ein Vorteil gegenüber dem reinen Empfehlungscharakter haben [19,29]. Die Einbeziehung elektronischer Lösungen könnte weitere Ansatzpunkte für die Unterstützung von ABS-Programmen ermöglichen [30].…”

“…Nur wenige Studien gewähren dabei einen genauen Einblick in die gewählten Maßnahmen und ihren Umsetzungsraten oder belegen Erfolge bzw. Misserfolge [18,19].…”

A Baker’s Dozen of Top Antimicrobial Stewardship Intervention Publications in 2018

“…Table 1 provides a brief overview of the 13 selected articles (aka “Baker’s Dozen”), which are detailed herein [14–26]. Annual reviews using similar criteria have been previously published since 2016 [27, 28].…”
