Identifying patients at high risk for antibiotic treatment following hospital admission: a predictive score to improve antimicrobial stewardship measures
The PILGRIM score effectively identifies newly hospitalized patients likely to receive antibiotics, demonstrating high specificity and PPV. Its application can improve future AMS programs and trial recruitment by facilitating targeted inclusion of patients, especially in the hematological and oncological setting. Further -external and prospective- validation is needed to broaden the model's applicability.
