Abstract
Implementation of dedicated pediatric antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) at 2 combined adult-pediatric hospitals with existing ASPs was associated with sustained decreases in pediatric antibiotic use out of proportion to declines seen in adult inpatient units. ASPs in combined hospitals may not detect excessive pediatric antibiotic use without incorporating pediatric expertise.
