Clinical Trial Summary

Antibiotic resistance is one of the most pressing health threats that mankind faces now and in the coming decades. Antibiotic resistance leads to longer hospital stays, higher medical costs and increased mortality. In order to tackle antibiotic resistance, a computerized-decision support system (CDSS) facilitating antibiotic stewardship and an electronic surveillance software (ESS) facilitating infection prevention and control activities will implement in our tertiary care university hospital. The investigators conduct a pragmatic, prospective, single-centre, before-after uncontrolled study with an interrupted time-series analysis 12 months before and 12 months after the introduction of the CDSS for antibiotic stewardship (APSS) and ESS for infection surveillance (ZINC). APSS and ZINC will assist respectively the antibiotic stewardship and the infection prevention and control teams of Nancy University Hospital (France). The investigators will evaluate the impact of the CDSS/ESS on the antibiotic use in adult (≥ 18 years) inpatients (hospitalised ≥ 48h). The primary outcome is the prescription rate by all healthcare professionals from the hospital of all systemic antibiotics expressed in defined daily doses/1 000 patients/month. Concurrently, the investigators will assess the safety of the intervention, its impact on the appropriateness of antibiotic prescriptions and on additional precautions (isolation precautions) as recommended in guidelines, and on bacterial epidemiology (multidrug-resistant bacteria and Clostridioides difficile infections) in the hospital. Finally, the investigators will evaluate the users' satisfaction and the cost of this intervention from the hospital perspective.
