Limited impact of a nudge comment in promoting de-escalation to first-generation cephalosporins in urinary tract infections

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: In this study, we evaluated the impact of a microbiology nudge on de-escalation to first-generation cephalosporins in hospitalized patients with urinary tract infections secondary to Escherichia coli , Klebsiella pneumoniae , and Proteus mirabilis isolates with minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) ≤ 16 µg/mL. De-escalation to first generation-cephalosporins was uncommon at MICs = 4–16 µg/mL.
