Abstract

To support hospitals in producing local policy, the Stichting Werkgroep Antibioticabeleid (SWAB in collaboration with CIB, NVZA, NVMM, NVII, NVIC, NVK and NVALT) has produced a dynamic document with medicinal treatment options that is updated almost weekly with the latest scientific insights. This project investigates the extent to which the publication of updates from this document can be found in the prescribing behaviour within six large top clinical hospitals in the Netherlands (Santeon network) during the first 100 days of the pandemic.
