Use of data envelopment analysis to quantify opportunities for antibacterial targets for reduction of health care-associated Clostridium difficile infection.
The authors conducted a cross-sectional study using claims data from 58 hospitals to create a benchmark strategy targeting high-risk antibacterials for C difficile. Seventeen hospitals were identified as best-practice hospitals. They found that the antibacterial classes requiring the greatest percentage reduction in use in non-best-practice hospitals versus best-practice hospitals were clindamycin, 尾-lactam/尾-lactamase combinations, and carbapenems.
