Systematic Review of Antimicrobial Stewardship Interventions in Low-Resource Healthcare Settings and Clinical Outcomes
This protocol outlines a systematic review of antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) interventions in low-income countries to address rising antimicrobial resistance.
What are the most effective structural and behavioral AMS interventions for improving clinical outcomes in low-resource hospital settings?
Knowledge gap
What remains worth asking
Evidence regarding the efficacy of context-specific AMS interventions in low-resource settings is currently fragmented and lacks systematic synthesis.
Potential contribution
Why it may matter
Supports the development of evidence-based antimicrobial protocols to mitigate resistance in vulnerable healthcare systems.
Academic placement
