Development and validation of an antibiotic appropriateness metric for urinary tract infections and pyelonephritis in ambulatory settings

Ambulatory antibiotic stewardship has traditionally focused on acute respiratory infections with few studies evaluating metrics for other commonly encountered ambulatory conditions, including urinary tract infections (UTI). We describe the development and validation of an electronically captured app...

We describe the development and validation of an electronically captured appropriate antibiotic use metric for ambulatory UTIs using coding data.
