Exploring the use of cluster analysis to assess antibiotic stewardship in critically-ill neonates in a low resource setting

ConclusionsThe first antibiotic line failed in one out of four newborns with probable sepsis while third-generation cephalosporins were insufficient in one in ten patients. Cluster analysis can provide valuable insights into antibiotic treatment patterns and their potential implications. This approach may support antibiotic stewardship and aid in contrasting antimicrobial resistance in limited resource settings.
