Antibiotic consumption trends among acute care hospitals in Catalonia (2008-2016): Impact of different adjustments on the results.

CONCLUSION: Whereas a significant upward trend in antibiotic consumption in DDD/100 bed-days was noticed (mainly due to a significant decrease in length of stay and therefore bed-days), DDD/100 discharges remained stable. The description of both indicators seems therefore essential for a correct interpretation of data. PMID: 32825806 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
