[Translated article] Design of a panel of indicators for antibiotic stewardship programs in the Emergency Department.

Objective: To develop a panel of indicators to monitor antimicrobial stewardship programs activity in the emergency department.

Methods: A multidisciplinary group consisting of experts in the management of infection in emergency departments and the implementation of antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASP) evaluated a proposal of indicators using a modified Delphi methodology. In the first round, each expert classified the relevance of each proposed indicators in two dimensions (healthcare impact and ease of implementation) and two attributes (prioritisation level and frequency).

Inflammatory processes involved in the alteration of liver function biomarkers in adult hospitalized patients treated with parenteral nutrition.

Introduction: Liver damage has been associated with the accumulation of phytosterols (PS) in patients treated with parenteral nutrition (PN). We aimed to study the association of inflammatory markers with liver function biomarker (LFB) alterations in patients treated with PN containing PS.

Materials And Methods: Prospective observational study.
