Antimicrobial stewardship interventions in the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region Countries: a scoping review of clinical, economic, and consumption outcomes
ASP interventions in the EMRO region show varying effectiveness, with audit and feedback proving most successful. Regional cooperation and continued efforts are essential to overcome challenges and strengthen these programs. Future efforts should focus on standardized implementation, improved reporting, and further research to effectively scale successful ASP strategies across the EMRO region. To the authors' best knowledge, this is the first scoping review of ASP interventions in EMRO countries summarizing their strategies, outcomes, and challenges.
