Variation in antibiotic use among neonatal intensive care units in the United States
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 September 2021
Abstract
Antibiotics are widely used in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of antibiotic use across US NICUs to evaluate overall, broad-spectrum, and combination antibiotic use. Patterns of antibiotic use varied by medical versus surgical service line, hospital, and geographic location.
