Improving empiric antibiotic prescribing in paediatric bloodstream infections: a potential application of weighted-incidence syndromic combination antibiograms (WISCA)

The estimates can be further refined using more complex meta-analytical methods, and patient characteristics.PMID:34424116 | DOI:10.1080/14787210.2021.1967145
