Variability in Antifungal and Antiviral Use in Hospitalized Children

Year: 2017

Type: article

Study design: Observational Study

Abstract: We analyzed antifungal and antiviral prescribing among high-risk children across freestanding children's hospitals. Antifungal and antiviral days of therapy varied across hospitals. Benchmarking antifungal and antiviral use and developing antimicrobial stewardship strategies to optimize use of these high cost agents is needed. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2017;38:743-746.
