Sažetak
An effective antimicrobial stewardship program should have tools for measuring both the quantity and quality of antimicrobial use. Many different quantity metrics and quality indicators have been used ; however, they have not been standardized. The Driving re-investment in Research & Development (R&D) and responsible antibiotic use (DRIVE-AB) project, a public–private consortium funded by the EU Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI), had the primary objectives to develop consensually accepted terminology and a framework to define responsible antibiotic use as well as consensually validated quality indicators and quantity metrics for evaluating antibiotic use. Consensus procedures including systematic literature searches and RAND-modified Delphi rounds with international experts from various stakeholder groups have resulted in a number of quantity metrics and quality indicators for the outpatient and inpatient setting.
