Developing a framework for regular and sustainable qualitative assessment of antibiotic use in Korean medical institutions: a Delphi study.
Review in Antimicrobial resistance and infection control, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundWe aimed to develop a roadmap for conducting regular, sustainable, and strategic qualitative assessments of antibiotic use in medical institutions within the Republic of Korea.
methodsA literature review on the current state of qualitative antibiotic assessments was conducted, followed by one open round to collect ideas, two scoring rounds to establish consensus, and one panel meeting between them. The expert panel comprised 20 experts in infectious disease or antibiotic stewardship.
resultsThe response rate for all three surveys was 95% (19/20), while the panel meeting attendance rate was 90% (18/20). The following long-term goals were defined to assess the annual use of antibacterial and antifungal agents in all medical institutions, including clinics. The panel agreed that random sampling of antibiotic prescriptions was the most suitable method of selecting antibiotics for qualitative assessment, with the additional possibility of evaluating specific antibiotics or infectious diseases that warrant closer evaluation for promoting appropriate antibiotic use. The plan for utilization of results from evaluation involves providing feedback while maintaining anonymity and disclosure. It includes a quantitative assessment of antibiotic prescriptions and resistance rates to compare against institutional benchmarks. Furthermore, it was agreed to link the evaluation findings to the national antibiotic stewardship programme, enabling policy and institutional approaches to address frequently misused items, identified during the evaluation.
conclusionThis study provides a framework for establishing a qualitative assessment of antimicrobial use for medical institutions at a national level in the Republic of Korea.
