What Are the Challenges in Antibiotic Stewardship for Neonates?
Implementing antibiotic stewardship in neonates presents several challenges: 1. Diagnostic Uncertainty: Differentiating between bacterial and non-bacterial infections can be difficult. 2. Limited Research: There is a paucity of research specifically focused on antibiotic use in neonates, making it challenging to develop comprehensive guidelines. 3. Clinical Variability: Variability in clinical practice and resource availability can impact the implementation of stewardship programs.
