Increasing antibiotic resistance has made benchmarking appropriate inpatient antibiotic use a worldwide priority supported by expert societies and regulatory bodies; however, standard risk adjustment for fair interfacility comparison has been elusive. We describe a risk-adjusted antibiotic exposure ratio that may help facilitate assessment of antimicrobial use.

住院抗菌药物使用的基准：风险调整后的观察与预期比率的比较

越来越多的抗生素耐药性使基准的住院患者合理使用抗生素成为了全球性的优先事项，并得到了专家协会和监管机构的支持。但是，对于公平的机构间比较而言，标准的风险调整一直是可望而不可及的。我们描述了经过风险调整的抗生素暴露比率，这可能有助于促进抗菌药物使用的评估。
