Antibacterial consumption before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic in a tertiary care pediatric hospital in Mexico
The COVID-19 pandemic did not affect trends of antibacterial consumption across the hospital or in the pediatric intensive care unit. Although the prior authorization component of the ASP maintained antibacterial consumption around the mean, the implementation of additional ASP strategies -such as education and persuasive interventions- alongside current restrictive measures may help further optimize antibacterial consumption in pediatric units.
