Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effectiveness of 5 days versus 7 days of nitrofurantoin treatment for urinary tract infections in women with diabetes.
- Data were collected from Dutch general practitioners between 2013 and 2020, analyzing treatment outcomes based on prescribed durations.
- The results showed no significant difference in treatment failures between the 5-day and 7-day groups, suggesting that a shorter 5-day regimen could be adequate for managing UTIs in diabetic women.
Background: Antimicrobial stewardship aims to optimize antibiotic use and minimize selection of antimicrobial resistance. The methodological quality of published studies in this field is unknown.
Aims: Our objective was to perform a comprehensive systematic review of antimicrobial stewardship research design and identify features which limit validity and translation of research findings into clinical practice.
