A Delphi consensus-seeking procedure was conducted to validate a list of ICD-9-CM codes that could help identify hospital admissions in which antimicrobials are more likely to be prescribed. The panel agreed to include 2967 codes out of 16229 (18.28%). Such codes could support AMS strategies by large-scale monitoring of drug consumption.

Abstract

The panel agreed to include 2967 codes out of 16229 (18.28%). Such codes could support AMS strategies by large-scale monitoring of drug consumption.File in questo prodotto:
