Hospital alert system aims to curb unneeded antibiotics
NCT ID NCT05172791
Summary
This study tested two methods to help doctors stop unnecessary antibiotics given to hospitalized patients for possible pneumonia. It focused on patients whose breathing rate and oxygen levels were normal, suggesting they might not need the drugs. Researchers compared usual care against an electronic alert and a pharmacist outreach program to see which best reduced antibiotic use safely.
