Description
Sung Min Lim and colleagues build in 2026 expert agreement on how to judge whether hospital antibiotic stewardship programmes in Korea actually work. A national pilot began in late 2024, yet shared success measures were lacking.
Eighteen specialists from societies and agencies rated candidate measures gathered from literature, starting with 59 options in seven groups. Three survey rounds plus a panel meeting narrowed the list using a strict agreement rule. Antibiotic use measures lead the final set, covering therapy days and standard doses per patient-days, plus cuts in broad-spectrum use. Hospitals gain a common scorecard for fair comparison.
