Brief Summary:
Early de-escalation of carbapenems can reduce unnecessary use of carbaepenems compared with late de-escalation without compromised clinical outcomes
Detailed Description:
A cluster randomized control trial was conducted among patients receiving care at the medicine units of the Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital.
Patients were randomly assigned into 2 groups. The standard group followed the hospital policy in which carbapenems were evaluated by ID specialist at 72 hours of admission (late de-escalation). De-escalation may occurred earlier depends upon the decision of the primary care team. The intervention group is de-escalation carbapenems early within 24 hours or no later than 72 hours of prescription by ID specialist (early de-escalation).
Clinical outcomes included rate of de-escalation within the first 24 hour, the mortality rate, and other clinical outcomes.
