Antimicrobial resistance trends, predictors, and burden in England: a retrospective study using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink from 2015 to 2021.

Objectives: Evidence describing the burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to health care systems is essential to inform health care policy to tackle AMR. This study aims to investigate trends, predictors, and clinical and economic burden of AMR within the English National Health Service.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study assessing 1,036,850 patients diagnosed with an infection as a hospital inpatient linked to the Clinical Practice Research Datalink within England between 2015 and 2021.

Antimicrobial resistance among refugees and asylum seekers: a global systematic review and meta-analysis.

Refugees and asylum seekers might have an increased risk of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) carriage or infection due to several factors, with conflict and war known to accelerate the spread of AMR. However, data are scarce on prevalence and risk factors for AMR among refugees and asylum seekers and how they are affected globally; in addition, how their risk compares to that of the host-country population is unclear. We aimed to explore and assess global AMR data among refugees and asylum seekers.

Antimicrobial stewardship markers and healthcare-associated pneumonia threshold criteria in UK hospitals: analysis of the MicroGuide application.

Background: To address antimicrobial resistance, antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) principles must be implemented and adhered to. Clinical decision aids such as the MicroGuide app are an important part of these efforts. We sought to evaluate the consistency of core AMS information and the diversity of classification thresholds for healthcare-associated pneumonia (HAP) in the MicroGuide app.
