Impact of a Stewardship Initiative to Decrease Treatment of Asymptomatic Bacteriuria and Pyuria in the Emergency Department
BackgroundAntibiotic treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria (AB) provides no benefit and can lead to negative outcomes. The impact of asymptomatic pyuria (AP) on antibiotic use is not well characterized, nor is the impact of treating AB/AP in the emergency department (ED). The purpose of this study was to determine whether a multi-faceted stewardship initiative decreased unnecessary antibiotic treatment of AB/AP in the ED of an 885-bed academic medical center.
