Tracking antimicrobial stewardship activities beyond days of therapy (DOT): Comparison of days of antibiotic spectrum coverage (DASC) and DOT at a single center

Even though antimicrobial days of therapy did not significantly decrease during a period of robust stewardship activities at our center, we detected a significant downward trend in antimicrobial spectrum, as measured by days of antibiotic spectrum coverage (DASC). The DASC metric may help more broad...
