摘要: Background Antibacterial drug use is a major risk factor for bacterial resistance, but little known about antibacterial in US hospitals. The objectives of this study were to characterize trends sample hospitals and identify predictors use. Methods We measured systemic from validated claims data at 22 university teaching January 1, 2002, through December 31, 2006, we examined potential including hospital patient demographics stewardship policies. Results A total 775 731 adult patients discharged 35 during 492 721 (63.5%) received an drug. mean (SD) increased 798 (113) days therapy per 1000 2002 855 (153) 2006 ( P Conclusions Total adults significantly academic health centers, driven by increases the broad-spectrum agents vancomycin. These developments have important implications acquired resistance among nosocomial pathogens, particularly methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
