WITHDRAWN 008: Development of digital interactive dashboard for hospital antibiotics stewardship using Python

According to the CDC Antibiotics are medicines that fight infections caused by bacteria by either killing the bacteria or making it difficult for it to grow or multiply. Antibiotic use has improved health care delivery since the 19th century, but emergence of resistance has followed rapidly the introduction of new antibiotic, leading to major implications for society and the delivery of modern health care. Antimicrobial Stewardship is an effort to measure and improve how antibiotics are prescribed by clinicians and used by patients and is critical to protect patients from the harms of inappropriate antibiotic use and combat antibiotic resistance. A digital dashboard is an analysis tool that allows business users to monitor and analyze their most important data sources in real time. In this work we develop a pilot interactive dashboard for inpatient antibiotic stewardship in a local hospital at Rio Grande Valley using Python. The dashboard visualizes trends in the antibiotic stewardship metric days of therapy (DOT) by various categories including indication and therapeutic class. Statistical testing and analysis for trend and seasonality in antibiotic usage across groups are conducted.
