ABSTRACT
Objectives:
Guideline adherence is one of the most important objectives for antibiotic stewardship. The Dutch Working Party on Antibiotic Policy (SWAB) developed an online national guide (SWAB-ID) in 2006. Every Dutch hospital is offered the opportunity to customize the national version to their local context and distribute it through an independent website. We studied user data to see how often the guidelines on therapy, prophylaxis and medication are used.Methods:
Data on usage between 19 June 2020 and 30 June 2022 were extracted through Google Analytics for the national site and the 53 hospitals using a customized version of the national guide. User data were divided into three main groups users of the national guide SWAB-ID, and users of the sites of general hospitals and university hospitals.Results:
A total of 1â837â126 searches were analysed, of which 1â393â681 (75.9%) concerned therapy, 111â774 (6.1%) prophylaxis and 331â671 (18%) medication. Of these searches, 456â854 (24.9%) were performed on the national site, 950â887 (51.8%) by general hospitals and 429â385 (23.4%) by university hospitals. The most commonly searched tracts among all user groups were lower respiratory tract (21.8%), kidney and urinary tract (16.6%) and skin and soft tissues (11.8%). The most commonly searched conditions were community-acquired pneumonia (15.3%), cystitis (13.5%) and sepsis (11.3%). The top ranked pages on medication differed for the three categories of users.Conclusions:
The SWAB-ID antimicrobial guide is used extensively by both general and university hospitals. The online guide can help in prescribing therapy according to the guideline.
