Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted on 227 febrile neutropenia (FN) patients to assess how a local guideline and a computerized decision support system (CDSS) affected the quality of treatment from April 2016 to January 2019.
- The results showed a significant increase in appropriate empirical antibacterial treatment from 58.3% to 88.1% after the guideline's implementation, along with a reduced need for treatment escalation (49.5% to 35.3%).
- Furthermore, the CDSS performed similarly to consulting physicians in recommending appropriate treatment, indicating its effectiveness in aligning with local treatment protocols.
