Antimicrobial stewardship programs in acute-care hospitals: A multicenter assessment of structure, process, and outcome indicators in Italy and Spain
Background
Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs have been differently implemented across Europe. This study primarily aimed to compare AMS in two European regions. Secondarily, the study explored the COVID-19 pandemic impact on surrogate outcome indicators of AMS.
Methods
A retrospective observational study was conducted in Piedmont (Italy) and Catalonia (Spain). AMS programs were compared through structure and process indicators in 2021. Changes in surrogate outcome indicators (antimicrobial usage; alcohol-based sanitizer consumption; antimicrobial resistance, AMR) from 2017 to 2021 described the pandemic impact.
Results
Seventy-eight facilities provided structure and process indicators. Catalonia showed better structure scores (p < 0.001) and less dispersion in both indicators. The greatest areas to improve were accountability (Piedmont) and diversification of strategies (Catalonia). Overall, the regions reported consistent changes in outcome indicators. Antimicrobial usage decreased in 2020, returning to near-pre-pandemic levels in 2021. Alcohol-based sanitizer consumption surged in 2020, then dipped remaining above pre-pandemic levels. AMR trends were minimally affected.
Conclusions
The centralized approach of Catalonia ensured consistent attainment of quality objectives across all facilities, but it may limit facility-specific strategies. In Piedmont, accountability remain one of the most critical factors as in previous years. The pandemic did not substantially disrupt surrogate outcome measures of AMS. However, the data on AMR suggest that maintaining vigilance against this issue remains paramount.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Infection and Public Health, first official journal of the Saudi Arabian Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs, King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences and the Saudi Association for Public Health, aims to be the foremost scientific, peer-reviewed journal encompassing infection prevention and control, microbiology, infectious diseases, public health and the application of healthcare epidemiology to the evaluation of health outcomes. The point of view of the journal is that infection and public health are closely intertwined and that advances in one area will have positive consequences on the other.
The journal will be useful to all health professionals who are partners in the management of patients with communicable diseases, keeping them up to date. The journal is proud to have an international and diverse editorial board that will assist and facilitate the publication of articles that reflect a global view on infection control and public health, as well as emphasizing our focus on supporting the needs of public health practitioners.
It is our aim to improve healthcare by reducing risk of infection and related adverse outcomes by critical review, selection, and dissemination of new and relevant information in the field of infection control, public health and infectious diseases in all healthcare settings and the community.
