Baseline predictors of antibiotics de-escalation from empirical therapies in an intensive care unit: a five-year retrospective study
De-escalation of antibiotics is considerable as the identified significant factors serve as baseline predictors which would certainly be helpful especially during the decision-making process of antibiotic de-escalation among the clinicians. Therefore, antibiotics de-escalation is highly encouraged to reduce the mortality risks.
